So it's good that you know there is still something to do.

And therefore, I really feel like sometimes this type of commitment in having a proper training partner,

It's quite nice.

So when you find a training partner, stay.

Yeah.

So of course when it comes to the training in the field of martial arts, of course it would be nice.

to have a super good training partner there as well.

This is why like having a type of brotherhood definitely helps.

This is where like the whole idea of community comes into play.

I'm extremely good in keeping all type of energies for me.

So regardless of why do I keep them for me, I would say

that thanks to the education of my parents on the one side, but also due to the training and in the way of how that whole martial arts system is being, let's say, being taught, it's very clear that in those areas, in these Asian traditions, you always have this very clear master-student relationship.

Meaning the commands come from top to down.

The only thing you are supposed to do is to follow the instructions.

It's not so important how you feel as long as you fulfill the orders of your superiors.

So that means until today

I would say Asian culture is not very well known for being able to openly communicate emotionally with any other beings, especially when simultaneously you are a martial art practitioner.

So what did it mean for me on the long run growing up with this?

It meant that, for example, no matter how I felt, there was literally nobody ever in my surroundings I could somehow share with what I felt.

So I just kept it for myself.
