One of our AKS Black Belts is Fr. Jim Wyse. He started training some years ago when Mr. Lieb was teaching in Holland, MI. When Mr. Lieb could no longer teach, Fr. Wyse joined our class at Ross Park Elementary, he earned both his 3rd Dan and 4th Dan with us over the years. He is an excellent Black Belt and a gifted Instructor, unfortunately he was required to move to a new parish and we no longer see him as much as we would like. I am pleased to report he has kept up his training.
One night after class, we convened our post class discussion group in the school parking lot; I asked him "Does training in martial arts create a philosophical dilemma for you?"
He said, "No, in that the original intent of martial arts training was to improve mind and body."
At my request, he has provided a much more in depth response in the Sept. '08 edition of the Punchline.
Thank you Father Wyse.
