Martial Arts Training Philosophy
Mr. Sandhu’s philosophy regarding martial art training is that it is an integrated, comprehensive part of a person’s lifestyle. Training strengthens the body, mind, and spirit. This is not to be confused as a religious statement in either Eastern or Western ideology.
The spirit is the core beliefs, internal strength and fortitude of a human being.
Martial
training forges and advances this spirit to cultivate a person to be a
good person in their family and community. Mr. Sandhu and students of
his GI YU DOJO come to the Dayton-Reds Rookie Success League to share
these beliefs and to encourage our Reds Rookies to lead a respectful
and productive life in COOPERATION with one another and for country.
