We learn traditional martial arts in order to build our bodies and our minds, to grow stronger in love for our country, and stronger for our belief in justice and righteousness. We do not have to prove to people how strong we are. Our goal is to continue to become more powerful, and when we become strong, we should live humbly, directing our power toward the weak. To become a champion of justice, our spirit must be indomitable and we must never forget, no matter how good or bad we are that only hard work will be the key to our success.
