Perseverance. Indomitable spirit.

These aren't just words to us. When my students miss classes I'm the first to remind them of the plethora of techniques they can practice at home or on the road. Hotel rooms, classrooms, hallways, living rooms, backyards, patios, in he bar by the light of the jukebox...no matter to us. We train. At least something happens to further our martial training every day.

Today both of my students missed class and for good reason, so I got busy with my teacher's most recent training even if it was on the iPad.

This is how I train with my teacher these days.

The point is we are unbeatable (indomitable spirit) when we are dedicated and will overcome the obstacles in front of us with honor (persevearance) if we train every day. I think the Korean phrase Yubimuhwan sums it up. Translation: when one is prepared, there is no need to fear the unexpected. 

Farang!
