"You know I want people to be able to come in here and realize as a child you can come in and this is a way of life. I want my children to live this life, it makes you a cleaner person, it makes you a stronger person. You have a reason for why you don’t want to get messed up and drunk, why you don’t do drugs, why you try to eat a certain way, what makes you to go get up and train. Well I’m a martial artist, Its who I am."
"a real hero is someone who can never be measured by trophies or plaques or even prestigious scholarships. true heroism can only be measured by the heart."
- from the book "pitch black: color me lost" by: melody carlson
