Violence is my last option.

I'm very grateful for every thing I have. You know when you start losing that then you start losing what life's all about.

Always remember that your success begins inside you: If you can't see it first, no one else ever will.

Sometimes the things we want most are the hardest to get. That means you need to be even more determined to succeed. That's what it takes to be a winner. You have to want it bad enough to stick with it no matter how tough things get.

There is no finish line. When you reach one goal, find a new one.

People study martial arts for many reasons, sometimes all the wrong reasons. For example, I have had potential students come to my dojo with a belligerent and cocky attitude. When I ask why they want to study my art, their response has indicated to me that their goal is to learn to fight, which is the antithesis of the philosophy I hope to instill: I want them to know how to defend themselves if necessary, but to avoid fighting whenever possible because they will have nothing to prove by fighting.

I definitely feel I do have God in my corner.
