My friend Ruben Rodrigez added. “To reject what is, creates the glass In The ceiling. Leaving only a reflection of your own mind. Blocking the magnificence of the images of the great beyond.”

One of the craziest things grandmaster Lin said to me in one of his lessons with six other teachers of the martial arts was “ If you understand, you understand, and if you don’t understand, you don’t understand.”He said “a hot dog is not a hot dog, and Madison Square Garden is not square and it’s not a garden.”He said this is the state of martial arts today, and that you must study the Dao Te Ching and the I-Ching or there will always be a glass ceiling, keeping you down and always reflecting images of yourself keeping your ego fulfilled, but you’re true potential and destiny out of reach and never fulfilled.
You must continue to be a white belt in order to truly learn, your cup must be empty for it to be filled with precious tea. Arrogance is the path to becoming insignificant, humility is the gateway to greatness.

“Never let the world tell you who you are.” 🥋💡. At World Martial Arts Center, we believe the most important self-defense we can teach our students is unshakeable self-confidence.
Before they can master a form or break a board, they have to master their mindset. Watching these incredible young leaders look Grandmaster Herbert in the eye and declare exactly who they are—strong, brave, intelligent, and courageous—is the absolute best part of what we do.
(Though we might need to remind Jayden to take it a little easier on Sabumnim at the next belt test! 😂) Confidence starts from within, but it grows in a community that believes in you. 💛.
