"Combat art is about people in war;
the values and virtues that people believe are worth living and dying
for. It is a testament to the living, and to those who have died. Combat
art is a channel for memories of those who have served in harm's way. It
passes values down from one generation to another, and another..."
"Combat art tells of our deepest feelings such as: "We held
fast to a set of standards and values that was worth anything we had to
endure. This is how we spent a part of our lives... It was worth
it."
"Combat art reduces things to bare essentials… like the virtue
most highly valued by men in combat... Just keeping the faith with each
other!"
