Tradition

“A black belt only covers two inches of your ass. You have to cover the rest”. – Royce Gracie
Tradition
As the words by Royce Gracie explains, the traditions might not be helping you in a fight against others. However, there are also plenty of quotes about how martial arts is the fight against the self – yourself. The tradition can give you a structure, not only in your day to day practise, but also for administrative resources, competition and so on.
