Today on First Cup with Jeremy (The Martial Arts Morning Coffee Vlog Show): 1. "A true martial artist, in my books anyways, is someone who is going to do the right thing and lead by example." ~ Duane Ludwig 2. "The best martial artist doesn't win fights, but avoids fights. Martial arts is a way of gaining basic self-mastery of your mind, body and emotions. It can also be very useful in combat situations." ~ Frederick Lenz 3. "I don't really have a problem with the pain of life. Perhaps that is because I am a martial artist and I am used to dealing with pain. Or perhaps I adjusted to pain because there has been a great deal of it in my life." ~ Frederick Lenz 4.
