I can remember a few years back when I was a young Black Belt competing at Westland. I thought I was the best and unfortunately I showed it with my attitude! After everything was over and we awaited the tally on the cards, Brian had pulled me to the side and had a talk with me. I remember that it was not a scolding… but it was speaking from experience. The way he approached things around the arts took a level of delicacy and respect that is hard to come by.

I wish you the same type of peace that your words have brought to others!
