We must firststrive to educate, not just the public at large, but ourselves.Miyomoto Musashi wrote that a person of strategy mustbecome acquainted with every art, and must develop anunderstanding for everything. Educating ourselves so thatwe come across to others as scholarly fighters, rather thana rrogant, intimidating bullies is the single most eff e c t i v emethod of offsetting the stereotype that Hollywood and thegeneral public has applied to us. If you are in school, staythere. If you quit, go back, or at least achieve an equivalencydegree. And finally, no matter who or where you are, reada book, any book. The simple hunger for knowledge of anykind will not only improve yourself, but will elevate ourentire art in the eyes of the world. That way, the next timesomebody asks you if you’ve ever had to use it, you canexplain to them that its not something external that you use,like a wrench or a screwdriver, but that its something you’veincorporated into your very being, and the lain fact is thatyou can’t remember the last time we weren’t using it. ■6
