Stories from the Masters
Generations of Martial Masters Share their Favorite Stories
It often happens at a large gathering or event. After a long day of training, the Master sits down with the students to tell tales and fables that shape the culture and morals of the Art. In many cases, we have no idea where these stories came from or whom to attribute them, so if anyone knows please share with us. We have saved some of our favorites that we have heard of the years and hope you enjoy them as much as we have.
