    The Sensei kneeled to show respect to his student. Then he mentored. That’s how it should always be: communicating with our beautiful legacy with respect and compassion. Lovely...

    Society has taught men that crying makes them weak, and if they do it is frowned apon. But this is a perfect example that crying is okay, for both women and men. And more people should know and understand this so men and boys dont feel as though they arent good enough if they show emotion. The world would be a better place. So thank you for this example and window to realization that it is okay to cry. ☺👍

    That was me when I first got into karate when I was 7 years old I felt like I wasn't strong enough to reach my full potential it took a lot of tears for me to face my fears and now I'm a 1 degree black belt in Shalion Kenpo Karate and I studied other forms of martial arts like Jeet Kune Do,Muay Thai, Wing Chun. I became top of my class by the time I was 16 years old now I'm 27 training kids to become better than me 💯

    In my honest opinion as a mature normal zoomer young man myself we as a society should be teaching boys to look up to firefighters not drag queens and definitely not gangsters because the truth is drag queens & gangsters are useless people. Boys should be taught to be gentlemen not macho-men and definitely not women. Boys must grow up to be compassionate, to be confident, to be respectful and to be responsible period. They must support their community, their families and their friends so they could grow up to be decent loving gentlemen.

      @@LifeStrategyMeetup Thanks brother I really appreciate it. As a young man myself I am so frustrated with these annoying predatory woke teachers feminizing our boys in modern times it is absolutely disgusting. Let boys be boys meaning let them have fun by being creative and being energetic & let them play fun games like dodgeball. When I myself graduated from an all boys high school our teachers both men and women let us have fun by playing many sports like rugby which is energetic & fun. Feminizing boys will lead them to commit suicide and we will all be in trouble. Feminine males cannot survive in this world because they will grow up feeling depressed meaning they will experience gender dysphoria. I am not saying we should hyper-masculinise boys into macho-men what I am really saying is that we should be teaching boys to be gentlemen not being feminine & not being macho. Like I said boys around the world must grow up to be compassionate responsible gentlemen period.

      Don't beat yourself up for admitting you were vulnerable and didn't want to show that pain to her. Your not a bad father. You did the best you could and that's what matters. We can't control the things that break us emotionally, but we can take a step back and see where we think it has impacted our life and do something about it just like you coming to the realization that u feel you messed up, now u can right your wrongs. Good luck. And this is coming from a father with a daughter who feels the same way.

    the other day, this guys started bumping into my chest with his shoulder out of nowhere aggressively, and I was continuously off balance. He continued to do it while keeping his body low, I was wondering if you could give advice on a simple way to counter this without grabbing his head or striking him (since he could easily slip out of the grab since i was off balance). His arms were tucked into his waist. He was much shorter so getting my body lower than his would be difficult (also I was off balance).
