actually i found the article very fulfilling .since i am 3rd degree
blackbelt and have been teaching those very words in my teachers school
as well as mine for years.i no longer teach as the intensity of student

only way to be REAL in my defense arsenal.so i thank you for your time
and for including me in the mail system.TRAIN on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
