Diligence, humility, respect and perseverance. |

Incorrect attitude to training. |
| Best Martial Arts Memory: |
There are many best memories very personal to me: First time I stepped into a dojo, my first grading, gaining my black belt, gaining my 5th Dan, being successful at my kumite test and many many more. But I think my best general memory would be attending the World Tournament in Japan and training there for a short while with Hanshi Arneil and all the Branch Chiefs under Sosai Oyama in 1987. |
