Thank You
All of our knowledge is the product and the sum of our experiences. We owe what we know to the people we meet, and interact with. However, once in a lifetime comes an extraordinarily rare individual, a person who sees beyond the mundane interactions of daily life. A person whose mere company elevates, shapes, and transforms who you are for the remainder of your life.
How does one express their appreciation and gratitude to someone who has given them the gift of sight? The ability to see and understand things as they never had before. I am referring to a person better known as the most knowledgeable martial artist in the world, the most authentic individual I have ever met, and probably one of the last true Grand Masters of our time, Magulang Na Guro Dan Inosanto.
Without martial arts I would certainly not be who I’m today, and knowing this overwhelms me with love and admiration for my instructor; for the wonderful gift he has given me. For over 20 years, time and time again, I witnessed him igniting passion and inspiration within others as he did for me. It is my honor and privilege to be able to call myself one of his students, to be able to help preserve the memory and spirit of his teaching, his philosophy, and his humor wherever I may go. I don’t feel I could ever fully explain the deeply rooted emotion of appreciation I have for this man. Thank you Guro, for taking me beyond the technique, for providing me with your guidance, for your constant unselfish dedication to show me an art that transcends to the practicalities of life itself. Thank you for giving me that life.
