"We must take back our power and restrengthen our foundations and for us as martial artists we are the last bastion of discipline, self-control, and empowerment. The very essence of martial art is the learning and training of self-control in order to gain the power to control others through discipline and hard work. We have to teach as parents and teachers, our children and students how to deal with loss, with failure, with all the negative emotions, with frustration, anger, with conflict, all the things which are not taught by anyone, which are left to the whim of the cult of society and the unguided chance of empirical learning. How are we to expect our children to overcome hardships, manifesting into adulthood, when they have not been taught; how are they to confront and resolve conflict when all that they have learned is to avoid it."
