I Suffer Nightmares From This, But Jiu-Jitsu Helps Keep Me Up
"It is my belief that those of us that have chosen the warrior’s lifestyle has a responsibility to be wards of our communities. Not only in the physical abilities to protect those we love or those that need it but to also be of service to them.
In several of the ancient warrior cultures, the warriors were community servants looking after the weak and old. Those that came before us deserve that respect and those that will come after we learn by our example so why wouldn’t we be a positive example?
We can’t leave our children behind and it doesn’t matter where they come from or what their experiences have been. We have an obligation to see these kids become productive members of society.
In the 2016-2017 school year, there were an estimated 10,071 students in our state experiencing homelessness! What?!?!? How can we let that be ok?
If I could save all of these kids I would, but I can at least start with getting them school supplies and who knows where this leads. One thing I know for certain is that I can no longer passively sit back and shrug my shoulders saying things like oh that suck or poor kids or man somebody should do something. We are somebody so let’s make a difference!"
