ReplyDeleteThe responsibility of each Black Belt in answering the call to arms is to recognize that the true learning has only just begun. You owe it to your instructor who gave you a portion of his/her life to pass on the code of conduct and ethics. Hopefully, this will govern the student behaviour in a manner that is recognizable as civilized and formidable. A calm mannerism in the face of danger is recognizable among warriors.
