We all started from the same place...confused, no structure, no organization, questioning our knowledge of left and right ...

...then we began to learn discipline, respect for others, focus, concentration, and self-control...

...this became the foundation for achieving the structure and organization for more complex abilities...

...where some are motivated to be and give more than they even expect of themselves...

...testing their personally acquired skill to gain confidence, self-esteem, and self-defense...

...all while knowing all work and no play makes for a dull day...

...so even while having fun, one has the tenacity to succeed, the motivation, and determination to do ones best...

...as competition brings out the rest....

...then when the evening is done, the ability to maintain peace and tranquility is #1.

This is the journey of self and through this process there will be obstacles that will slow you down, hills and valleys that will challenge your character, and time that will test your patience.  This is the journey of our PMAFA members, some short in duration and some long, the end result is always dictated by how well you stay the path.
