I have created a bio page that explains my martial arts journey over the years.

This was a good opportunity to explain to new students who I am and to pay my respect to instructors I have learned from who have shaped me as a martial artist.
The link is in the comments.

I have modified the original quote slightly from a martial artists point of view 👊🏻

Spirit is the deep inner quality that go beyond skill, intelligence, or emotion. For us, it means:

Discipline under pressure
Courage in fear
Honor and respect
Perseverance through pain and failure
Self-control over aggression
Purpose behind the practice
