the martial artist on the mountain of life,

perseverance within themselves. This quality can be
learned as long as the student simply says ''one

vital component in the maturing process. So many
children have benefited from this experience with

insurmountable odds. It reflects a personal desire
to achieve, through resetting goals with the values
