The Urban Warrior Challenge
The Urban Warrior Challenge
By The Sensei
The older we get, the quicker time seems to pass. Before too long, the fresh year we entered is coming to a close, and a new year is ready to be born.
I always liked the New Year. It brings a perfect opportunity for quiet reflection, contemplation and the kind of realignment of one's values that inevitably begins a new direction along the road of life.
That is…unless you are the kind of weakling who uses the New Year as an excuse to drown out your consciousness and powers of perception with alcohol, waste your time on the couch or in smoky bars, and generally lay around getting fat and slow.
If you are this kind of person, you need a challenge. So I have one for you—The Urban Warrior Challenge. Make this year the year you finally toughen up, and make the most of yourself. Make this year the year you become an Urban Warrior!
To be an Urban Warrior you need two things: Mental Power, and a mastery of the Ten Skills.
What is mental power? It is made up of those qualities of character—the qualities that make a man a man. They are considered old-fashioned now…and this is why the west has become corrupt; decadent; feeble. They used to be called "moral qualities". Factors like inner strength, independence, freedom of thought and an indomitable will. These are the most valuable resources human beings possess. Tragically, they are the kind of qualities most young men today sell out for virtually nothing, exchanging them for the lure of their opposites; weakness, herd-mentality and apathy.
These mental powers are crucial to The Urban Warrior; they are his most cherished possession. But they require expression; having mental power without the tools to express that power in a crisis is like having ten gallons of high-octane fuel, and no car to drive. The "tools" The Urban Warrior needs to complete the package are the Ten Skills. These are the intellectual and physical abilities which ensure that you can protect yourself and make the most out of any combination.
Many people have asked me to define an Urban Warrior. Well, there you have it. Mental power combined with a constant honing and development of the Ten Skills. That is what constitutes a true Urban Warrior. That is the way of life he follows.
Here is your challenge. Spend the next twelve months working on these two areas. You need to do something every day to get better in both your mental power and the Ten Skills—and I expect you to embrace all ten. Three will not do; nine will not do. The Urban Warrior trains in all ten.
Despite what you may believe, this will require virtually no equipment and no money. The challenge is not about these things. And I've left instructions for you on how to do it, step-by-step, in The Urban Warrior's Bible.
This challenge will be simple, although not easy by any means. But if you accept it, this year will become the most rewarding year of your life, and you will finally have realized all you were meant to be. And I am here to guide you, both in my writings, and as a teacher. Eventually, some of you will be inducted into my Inner Circle of students, and be given my contact details so I can help you one-on-one.
You will never be as young as you are right now. You will never be as ready as you are right now.
Don't let another year slip by.
