TRUE CHARACTER: No matter how hard you train in the classroom, you will never be a true martial artist if you leave your training at the door. Humility, respect, positive attitude and compassion make up your character and true character is not a part time virtue. How you treat yourself and others outside the classroom is just as important as how you treat your fellow students. The best martial artists are of strong character and compassion, so always remember even when you're not in the classroom, you should still be training, improving and learning.
