Every technique has a story.
Tonight I was teaching Hook Kick in our Black Belt Training class, and it reminded me that martial arts is about so much more than kicks.
This technique wasn't created by me. It was passed down to me by instructors who invested their time, knowledge, and belief in my potential many years ago.
Now, decades later, I have the privilege of passing that same knowledge on to the next generation.
Skills fade. Trophies collect dust. But lessons, values, and wisdom passed from one generation to another can last forever.
Who was a teacher, coach, mentor, or family member that passed something valuable on to you?
