For every 10,000 students that join a martial arts class, half will drop out the first month out of the five thousand left, half will remain the second month, of those remaining 2,500 students, one thousand will complete six months of training and then give up five hundred will study for a year but only one hundred will see their second anniversary five will make shodan-ho (jun shodan or apprentice black belt). Two will make shodan (1st grade black belt) but only one will go on to teach others what they have learned. Why? Because the martial arts are now a part of their life, and they will go on to share this “special life.” With others.
This person is a sensei!
