The inner cirlce and brother hood that we have in our school is what keeps us going.

Now that you mention it, that also is a very big factor for me.
This statement is false.

Well you can't help but love the stereotypical super-calm pacifist monk that turns out to be a legendary warrior.

Moreover though, I've always been really interested in the spiritual side, the meditation I find to be brilliant and the chinese culture really interests me. I've always wanted to experience the oriental temple life, and martial artists always seemed to be the type of people who could be fighters and also nice guys without an arrogant agenda that you see in schoolyard bullies and big army colonels.

Furthermore, martial art fakes are possibly the funniest guys alive, Jim Lacey's foolishness is legendary.
