When in Rome - Episode 227

Arrogance and pride may get in our head sometimes, leading us to look down on people around us or what they're doing. When we’re invited to a friend’s house, we must definitely follow the rules set before us. The same goes for martial arts events. We are invited because there is a certain level of respect that is given to us and it must be reciprocated by behaving in a way that’s appropriate, even if it's not what you feel is best. Respect shown to the event organizer and the participants is paramount. Hence, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Take a listen!
