Ron’s Start

 Ron became interested in karate as a teenager. He and his neighbor friend Gary Brownell became interested in learning karate skills. Not knowing much less understanding they began. In their callow state not even thinking much about where it might lead, they began. Yet, in their state of ignorance they began, thinking and knowing virtually little about correct principles nor intelligent work. They ordered a few books and began. Ron was aware that Morris Mack was teaching karate in Yakima. For a number of reasons, the boys did not seek out that mode of learning. One of the boys a remnant of a broken home never knew much of his father, He had two older sisters. Being the man of the family and the youngest must have been a monumental challenge, Gary later joined the United States Marine Corp and served during the Vietnam War. G. Gary was also married during that timeframe. His marriage ended in divorce. He was later married and remained married for the rest of his life. Furthermore, he did not join his longtime friend, Ron Maxey in the lifetime pursuit of Karate. Subsequently, Gary was employed by local Yakima, WA. Fire Department and enjoyed a long successful career,

Monumental Challenge

The monumental challenge constantly was in Their way. As stated earlier, Morris Mack was teaching karate in Yakima. For a number of reasons, the boys did not seek out that mode of learning. Fear, lack of resources (money), shame and lack of positive role models surely were among the reasons. Having direction and reminders make a huge difference. The silent expectations added immensely to the monumental challenge. Being expected to know what was empathically required in the families was extremely difficult for the boys. It is definitely difficult when clearly defined verbal explanation does not regularly exist.

They continue to resist a better way.

They continue to resist a better way. Lessons from life were so freely in front of them. Just express gratitude.

Rather than understanding in their youth they stumbled without supervision. Without the guidance of a superior that understood, they floundered. Being stuck in the mud and lacking direction there was little progress.

Positive Influence

During this time period, Ron was also introduced to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Based on negative influence by possibly well-meaning adults lacking pure revelation and truth, Ron had been misled. In another area Ron floundered. In his youth and unfortunately like multitudes of youth and children he was misled. Fortunately, being misled and floundering can be corrected. Some of the correction that led to Ron’s Amazing Dynamic Beautiful Karate Story in finding, understanding and abiding by correct principles.

First Dojo

Education: One year later has been a time frame I used, as I worked toward some goal. I documented the beginning and each day of the year I reflected. 100 days worked as intermediate stages to evaluate progress and make changes as needed.

I learned that daily preparation makes the exams much easier. When I attended classes, I really listened. I determined what was really important and listed the concepts and important points in my notes. Immediately after class, I would reflect on the class as I walked to my next duty of the day. Whether the duty was another class or a needed or wanted break, I thought about the class. The objective was to learn everything from that class, before I returned to the next class.
