From the Authors, Ruth Hunter and Debra Fritsch: "Translating martial arts philosophies to our everyday lives at school, work and play is hard work. In many cases, it requires change, however the result of continually trying to respond appropriately to the situation can result in making us better persons and help us make the most of our lives. We're all Everyday Warriors at different stages of development."
