I didn’t become a martial arts instructor to fight or hurt people. I did so to be able to defend myself from those who wanted to.

I don’t carry an umbrella because I want it to rain.

I don’t own guns, and I didn’t train in firearms or executive protection to harm people—I did it to protect life, my own and those I love.

There’s nothing unspiritual about the ability to protect yourself and the ones you love.

You’re speaking my language 👏🏻👏🏻

Absolutely 💯.

Anything else is a victim mentality. 🧡 💜

Be prepared. Always

would really love to hear more of your thoughts about this in private kindred spirit. ☺️ I have my own experiences and upbringing that I am working on still so I have become the opposite of it. It does not mean I am not open to it. It only means that I need new positive experiences of these things so I can move pass the past 🫂

Understood, and I hear you. It was a process for me as well. Send me a message and we'll connect on Signal or SimpleX 🫂
