Most of the time, the knowledge of their art are handed down from family of generation to the next generation.  It is the responsibilities now of the next generation to hand not only the skills and knowledge of the system but the values of the art. 

In most art of discipline, the most important values being considered as the strongest pillar of the practice is the Loyalty.  The only answer to the question on how we measure our loyalty, to our mentors and the system from whom and where we acquired our skills. 

The knowledge and understanding of the art and the system that we love to adopt.  I never felt so obligated of the same responsibilities, till I've reach a foreign land that now I called my home.  Teaching the art comes with a heavy responsibilities, the complexities of the law of the land and it's legalities.

As a teacher,  I always emphasized not only the knowledge but the discipline and loyalty.  Hoping that someday they would honor that same discipline and loyalty to the art and the system that molds us of who we become right now.  To my family, all the teachers that I met along my journey in this art and to my mentor Magtutudlo Ondo Abellana of Cebu City, Philippines.  I always pledge my honor and loyalty and I thank you for the knowledge and discipline you have shared with me. 

I pledge to pass it on to whoever is able and willing to learn and keep that same honor and discipline in your loving memory.  May you find true peace and wisdom where ever you are right now. 

Mapasalamaton! LSK-FMA
