Quotes[]

“	Recently, the only people I've been sparring with are the other members of the martial arts club. I value the lessons I've learned from them...but I'm worried about something. I'm starting to fear that if I don't branch out and find new partners to spar with, I'll never learn anything new or grow as a martial artist. I want to spar with someone who can beat me in combat. If I suffer the agony of defeat, then surely, I will learn where my weaknesses are, and I'll be able to improve as a fighter.	”
