“Peace is more productive than punches”
Tom Callos
“Out of the dojo and into the world.”
“The last thing this planet needs is another punch thrown, another grenade tossed, another missile launched; to teach self-defense in today's world is to teach kindness, compassion, and protection from mediocrity.”
“Peace is more important than punches.”
“Your job as a teacher is to show your students, through this journey you're taking yourself, how to be the ultimate student.”
“Yes, a black belt should be able to execute precise, effective, beautiful, and technically proficient martial arts techniques, whatever the style. But just as importantly, a black belt should be able to execute precise and beautiful ideas, equal to or better than their physical techniques. A black belt should have an attitude equal in its brilliance to his or her physical skills.”
“When the student is ready, the teacher appears. Likewise, when the teacher is ready, the students appear.”
