At black gryphon martial arts, you learn humility, discipline, confidence and loyalty. You learn to train your mind body and soul. You learn how to fight and defend you and yours. But what you also get thats not on the job description, is you gain FAMILY. Family.. thats a tough one for people. They say blood is thicker than water. But they never say that water gives you life in order to sustain your blood. Hmm. For almost 2 years or so these 2 souls came in to my gym on recommendation of one of my long time friend and coach Boomer Gladfelter . they were quiet and reserved. Fast forward to present day and here we are. I had the pleasure to watch them grow and be better humans than before. But as in all families. there are ups and downs but it takes a strong family to commincate, forgive and still laugh, and love one another. Martial arts isnt about the 4 qualities i mentioned its about the journey to get to those qualities. And im proud to say that Ray Jensen and Michal Jensen have profoundly found those qualities and made something of themselves. I want to be selfish so bad and not let them go, but that wouldnt make me a good sensei. In nature the mother bird teaches its baby to fly and eat on there own. push and shove for them to leave the nest. So with that , thank you for letting me be that person to show you the way of The Way. I m proud of you guys. I truly am and if last night wasnt a testement of how much you made an impact in our community, I dont know what will. Travel safe . enjoy each other. Grow some more , And remember that a family that trains together, stays together . we love you. Its Not a good bye. Its a see you later ❤️✌️😃
