First a little story. I was in Toys R Us today, escorting my son around, when we had to visit the men's room. However, store policy does not allow customers to enter the bathroom with large bags. So, we were asked by a very polite young store employee to leave a bag with him. So we did. As we were, my son asked me if we were just going to leave the bag in the bin next to the guard.
To which the guard responded, "Never fear, young sir. I will guard this bag with my Mind, Body and Soul." I smiled as I tied the bag up, looked at my son, and said. "Spoken like a true martial artist, right son?"
To which the guard said "Yes I am brother." We chatted. He was raised in Tae-Kwon Do, from the age of 4, and was now 22. I found the conversation with him great. We exchanged emails, and I invited him to come visit the Elemental School of Fencing, or our associates at Seibukai JuJutsu. To which he said, he would (since he was seeking a "solid, conservative JuJutsu/Judo school.")
