Those Who Learn...Teach! ...is the motto here at the Warrior Institute of Chicago... We Learn . . . 10% of what we read 20% of what we hear 30% of what we see 50% of what we both see and hear 70% of what is discussed with others 80% of what we expericence personally 95% of what we teach someone else It is our philisophy that teaching is an instrumental part of learning the martial arts. Those who truly want to learn must not only teach someone but develop a student throughout the various rank levels. This process forces the individual to dissect the entire spectrum of martial arts as well as internally reflect on their own growth and potential. This Student...Teacher...Student relationship is paramount to the life long commitment to martial arts and character development. In order to become a good instructor, master or grand master...one must first become and remain an exceptional student.
