____________________
Honor, integrity, respect, and especially humility accompany any true martial artist. Beware of the one lacking in these things. Outwardly consider him a plague to be avoided, yet treat him carefully when you cannot. In your mind consider him an enemy; a viper waiting to strike that cannot be trusted. He is puffed up, deceitful, and dangerous above all. He is a volatile bomb waiting for any chance to demonstrate his own perceived power. He is no better than a bully in a schoolyard. To the one lacking in these things, beware the one who boasts not in himself!
Remember, a man boasts not in the things in which he is the most confident, but rather in the things he lacks!

PS – as usual, this has (at least) a duplicitous meaning. We would all do well to remember this and apply it in our own lives ;)
