Reseña del libro "Kenpo Ki Do Karate: The "WAY" of Warrior (en Inglés)"
In Truth, a BLACK BELT is the equivalent of a "Boys Scout Merit Badge." It simply signifies an achieved proficiency. Wearing a Black Belt means absolutely nothing if you aren't living the proficiencies it represents, and consistently demonstrating the character skills it signifies. Without the character skills a Black Belt represents, your rank is a worthless sheet of paper, and that BELT is just a worthless piece of BLACK cloth. The person wearing it is its true weight and measure. There is no ancient, sacred, secret to the martial arts or self-defense training. However; there is a significant commitment, dedication, and effort necessary to achieve such a goal. The certainty of that goal can only be realized with a strong and compelling ... 'WHY.' WHY are you COMMITTED to achieving a Black Belt? WHY are you DEDICATED to attaining rank? WHY are you spending time, energy, and resources in the EFFORT of such a goal? Your 'WHY' can be found in the 3 Self-Masteries. Self-Respect, Self-Confidence, and Self-Control fuels the fire that compels our commitment, dedication, and effort which is directly linked to our capacity to access POWER. A POWER beyond the physical agility of self-defense training. A POWER beyond the traditional lineage, organizational affiliation, or certified rank. A POWER that can only be accessed through the skills of integrity, discipline, respect, leadership, responsibility, and compassion. Explore your training, evolve in your proficiencies, and expand in the "WAY" of coordinated power ... The "WAY" of WARRIOR.
