There are a number of great martial arts. Many of whom, including you, may not be widely known to the world, are still at the top of their craft. These are men and women who have risen to the challenge. These martial artists have what we call. They are martial artists who have high levels of knowledge, high levels of skill, true passion for martial arts, and the ability to share their knowledge with others in ways that make their students passionate about martial arts. These are just some of the great martial artists that I have had the honor to meet and meet in my life. These martial arts have training in the styles of karate, jujutsu, sword, sticks, sword and more. Even those who are no longer with us, their spirits are still with us and will live on forever through their students and those of us who have been honored and had the opportunity to train. These people also have black belt level students under them.

The history of martial arts is a history of determination, respect and loyalty. It transcends race, culture, age and politics. Our society is a multi-million dollar culture fueled by well-paid athletes, recording artists, movie stars, etc., unconsciously dominates and defines for our youth what counts as legacy. Honestly, we can all benefit in some way from knowing the martial arts and all great martial artist. We don’t know what the next day may bring. Grandmaster Peter G. Urban said, “Today is now.” With that in mind, “Start Today”. He is never too old to start his martial arts training. All ages will benefit from martial arts.
There are many real legends that live in our mist. Find them and don’t wait for them to pass by to tell their story. They are the basis of the present and the inspiration for our future generations. Like some of these, the artists listed, their upsides, are doers, rather than talkers. How do you know them? The real ones don’t care where you put them in your article or interviews on TV or in a magazine, websites but they care about the meaning and substance of the article. They care about their students and the arts. These people work, have families, and struggle just like everyone else. Despite their rise to higher levels and show us the power and beauty of martial arts, every day.
Nobody lives forever and some people are born but never really live. These people will live forever as they have shared their spirits and helped many. Martial arts are not about belts or ranks. Martial arts is about training and inner growth and development.
