I know every instructor thinks they have great students. Indeed, I have seen several of my fellow instructors comment that they have the best students in the world.

I mean them no disrespect, but I must inform them that they are wrong.

*I* have the best.

Tonight, my students presented me with a beautiful gift.

In this picture, all you can see is a reddish background leaving outlines of four Kanji characters. I freely admit that I had to ask what it said, and they told me, "It's the Art of War."

If you look MUCH closer (not possible with this photo, sorry) you can see that the red background is actually very small print -- the entire text of the Sun Tzu's classic, "The Art of War." Something else you can't see in the picture is that they each signed the back of it.

The card at the bottom reads, "Presented to Master Clif Bullard, to convey our thanks. Kempo Class -- Memphis Martial Arts"

To my students: you guys are AWESOME!

Totally awesome! (But then the awesome of the student reflects the awesome of the master.)
