I’m not an expert

I’m not great

I’m not right all the time

I’m not the essence of Budo

I’m not a Ninja

I’m not a Samurai

I’m not a Soke or Grandmaster 

I’m not perfect

I’m a student

I’m a person who’s made mistakes in life

I’m a person who shares what he knows

I’m a person that does not care for Budo politics

I’m a person who trains for the love not the money

I’m a person who has been there and lost the t-shirt

I’m a white belt for life
