I was teaching at my schhool this weekend, the kids class ( one of my favorites ), well a little boy at the end of a test asked this question in front of about thirty parents. He asked is it true that a martial artist can jump off a build 8 stories high and land without injury, Well the whole room fell silent.
I said ' Adam the point of martial arts is to learn more about yourself so you can learn more about others.
I have heard that this has been done but I have never seen it done. In martial arts we seek out teachers who can prove there skill and not just talk about it. I have been taught by the best teachers around the world and I have seen great martials artist demonstrate. Yes did train in a martial art that the master did claim that he did this, but it was never proven. Adam this is a good lesson in trusting who you want to teach you, remember trust has to be earned. Do you trust me Adam'. ' yes ' he said, 'why' I returned. ' you are here always teaching me how to do my best and you make me feel like I can do my best at everything I do, I will always remember you '
Well the parents broke down in started clapping and cheering, oh I forgot to mention that this boy was in a wheel chair and for the most part the doctors told his parents that he wouldn't be able to walk. Well for his forth section test he walked around the room four times.
I am sure that jumping off a build could make you feel proud, However I think I will keep this in stead.
A man is not how much money he can generate, A man is who he will touch in life, so he is remembered. What will you be remembered for?
