According to a samurai legend, "Dishonor is like a scar on a tree, which time, instead of effacing only helps to enlarge."

Honor is an important concept in the code of Bushido. It was also an important concept to the Hwarang warriors of ancient Korea. In fact, you find honor in all warrior classes. As warriors, martial artists, and individuals who train in methods of hurting or killing others, be it for your occupation, sport, or whatever, it is extremely important that we live with honor and by a code of conduct. You'll see me touch on this theme a lot with my writings and teachings because it is very important.
