I agree completely about the mindset of today’s teenagers.

If something is not done about it, who knows what will happen to our civilisation?

We will be living in a world where everyone believes life owes them everything and they must get what they want, when they want it, just because they want it.

Fortunately, I have the ideal solution: martial arts.

If our problems are caused by a lack of discipline, then martial arts is the best possible solution.

Martial arts requires a person to develop mentally, physically and spiritually.

I believe any style will suffice to teach the discipline and value of hard work.

I speak from my own personal experience and that of my friends and family.

This will also enable all individuals to defend themselves if need be and will allow them to build powerful friendships and bonds with each other.

So, I say, let’s get them off their lazy bottoms and into gyms and dojos and fighting for a better tomorrow.
