I read your post and noted some new about what was really around the world? That seemed kind of funny... who cares if she traveled the same miles at the equator or not. Sure takes a can-do mindset. Interesting Matt!

My current post about Jessica Watson, the Aussie girl, embodies what it takes to have the "warrior" mindset. It's at: http://karate-kids.com.au/blog/. In the days of the Samurai, a warrior was expected to do battle, write moving poetry, create beautiful calligraphy, and do a proper tea service--all in one day. Now that's what I call a warrior! .-= Matt Klein´s last blog ..<a href="http://karate-kids.com.au/karate-kids-and-the-jessica-watson-story/" rel="nofollow">Karate Kids and the Jessica Watson Story</a> =-.

I like how well though out and how he articulated that position. I'll have to disagree with him as I am the type of person that does not like "feel good" words like "warrior" or "hero" if it is not actually the case. But again it is probably more of a matter or perspective. To some people any military deployed to war is a hero. To me a hero is a Medal of Honor recipient that goes above the call of duty, risking life or limb to save another (not generically our country). Thanks for your insight as always Matt. Understanding various positions helps me to re-evaluate my positions - update or validate them. Hi Matt, I remember reading that interview.

Semper Fi! In my humble opinion, U.S. Marines fit the definition of warriors. Ever since 1775 (?) Respectfully, TheMartialArtsReporter John, could you extend my gratitude to your Dad for his service.

Though I hate labels, being a martial artist in the truest sense means you have warrior attributes and more besides. I thinks it probably just best to refer to oneself as a martial artist.
