A black belt was never supposed to mean, “I have arrived.”
If anything, the longer we train, the more we realize how much there is still to learn.
One of the things we value most about gathering together as Christian martial artists is the opportunity to become students again—to step outside our own schools, systems and routines and learn from people whose experience may be very different from our own.
Sometimes that means learning from someone with decades more experience.
Sometimes it means discovering that someone from an entirely different martial arts tradition has something valuable to teach us.
Humility makes us better martial artists. More importantly, it makes us better followers of Christ.
Never stop learning. Never become too "accomplished" to be taught.
- Tag a martial artist who has taught you something valuable along the way.
