Jiffy Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 I have never had a bad experience meeting a hero of mine yet. All have been great. Quite Lucky. The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymac Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 People talk bad about my hero to me all the time, but my favorite person is a retired quarterback for the NFL. I have met him a couple of times and he was always nice. I would be bummed out if he turned out to be the kind of person that others describe him as. A great martial artist is one who is humble and respectful of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patusai Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I would think that even if the true "heros" of MA are not on this Forum hiding there may be some people who are at the level of understanding that they are because of them. There are probably many unsung heros on this site as well. Sometimes the greatest heros are not those that are nationally recognized.

bushido_man96 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Jim Kelly. I admit, I am a huge Bills fan!Hey, you can't be ashamed of that. He was an awesome quarterback. The only quarterback to be on the only team to win 4 consecutive AFC championships. Also great accolades as far as the record books go, and he was no slouch in the USFL. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I know that we would all like to meet our heroes, but consider this. We are heroes ourselves to someone. Whether we teach, or are a high rank in the class, or just lend a low rank that works hard every day, we are a hero to someone. There is someone who looks up to you. They may be young, and you may think that they just don't know any better, but to them, you are it.My point? Lead by example, and always help, even if it is just in idle conversation, let alone teaching or helping with technique. And the best part is, they will know there hero.(I was feeling inspirational. Done for a while now! ) https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
