In life, to include the martial arts training environment, positive attitudes and strong ethics are as critical to students as water and sunlight is to plants. However, both require consistent and regular exposure to these elements for growth to take place. Like plants, its more common for people to absorb these traits through saturation rather than any other method. Some things just cant be learned properly through the lecture method...they have to be demonstrated and lived out by those in leadership positions. Do as I say, Not as I do is quickest way to fail as a leader, instructor, or even parent. All change, whether it be good or bad, begins with whoevers at the helm of the ship. Be the example folks. Operate your life at a high standard and others will follow suit...without any coercion or lecturing needed. Once again, its easy to assume that all martial arts training is about punches, kicks and submissions...but this is the true X value that most students and many instructors fail to understand. Oss.
