A Thought
from Shihan Ron Bennett
to our Website Guest
A dojo martial arts training hall is a miniature world where
we come to know more about ourselves, our fears, our anxieties,
our reactions and habits. It is a place of learning about
conflict where we meet an opponent who is not actually an
enemy but rather a friend learning together to understand
ourselves better. It is a place where we can learn a great
deal in a short time about who we are and how we can and should
react in our homes, at school or work, with friends and enemies
and in the world.
The White Dragons dojo is a place of love, peace, safety
and learning. We welcome you to our world, on the web, and
hope you enjoy all your time here. Our students have enjoyed
their personal study and hope to inspire each of you to consider
training or continue your effort in Martial Arts training.
It is our hope that you will always live life with perseverance
and drive, always remaining loyal to those who provide you
opportunity and knowledge. That you understand true Bushido,
serving with honor the masters, systems and styles you have
gained Martial Arts knowledge from, properly representing
your roots, never claiming to be "self-taught",
since this is never the case. That you each present truth,
never falsify or embellish on your achievements or the achievements
of another to make yourself look better or for personal or
financial gain.
