About The Book
This book is about the need for our young people to embark on their own Hero’s Journey and make an impact on their world. It is the first of three. It is the start of an exciting and fulfilling life filled with high adventure. This Journey will do many things for your child: it will help them find meaning, give them a sense of identity, make them feel secure, help them to create order out of chaos, help them to feel competent, give them something greater than themselves to belong to, and give them the freedom to take their life in whatever direction they want it to go. What more could you give your child? But for this to happen, you must recognize the significance of this journey. The world is becoming increasingly chaotic every day and for your child to do well they need all the help and guidance they can get. The best guidance comes in a form of an adventure that will make them into the best person they can be. The Hero’s Journey will do that for them. I urge you to start your child on this great journey, now. You will never regret doing it and in time your child will be immensely grateful for it.

Praise
"I remember training with you and Leo back in the late 70s, a different time, hard to imagine we would still be doing this 45 years later, but here we are, not sure if I would still be on this earth without the people and discipline, I found at the dojo. I was so fortunate to have you as one of my instructors!"

"Dear Sensei Callahan, I'm not sure you remember me, but my name is Benjamin Wright son of who is now Marta May. I was instructed in Shotokan in my early years at your dojo on Hall Road. I wanted to contact you and thank you for your instruction. You taught me discipline and honor which have given me an advantage when interacting with my peers. I cannot find the words to describe the attributes I have developed from your lessons, but these attributes give me confidence as I prepare to leave for college. I will be going to school at the Art Institute of Chicago and I’m thankful that I have retained so much martial arts training in such a dangerous city. Thank you for your assistance in my conditioned development."

"Sensei Callahan, thank you for what you did in class yesterday. It was just magical how you handled Maxwell and how you and the other kids helped him calm down. You do have a teacher's gift."

"I appreciate everything you’re trying to do. The world is in trouble and everyone could use your training. As a society we have become overweight, lazy and violent. We have moved away from who we are and the principles that made us strong. Karate can fix that, it can get us back to our principles, but people don’t see it that way. People see it as a skill. What they don’t know is that within a few months you start to change the way you think and approach everything, because you have principles. You start to look at things differently. People need guidance and we’re not getting it. People rely on movie stars, sports figures and politicians, and what they should be doing is developing principles by training in your school. Karate is a great way of life. People need to be shown what they’re missing."

"Karate has had such a profound impact on my life I can't sum it up in one story, but I will try to convey the most significant change I feel I have made. I am not known for being good at math. Algebra has always been a subject that I struggle with. So, I don't need to say how nervous I was to at the beginning of the semester, having to take intermediate algebra at the JC. But I applied certain concepts of karate to my behavior and attitude about myself as a math student. The first strategies I employed was "be faithful," and "endeavor." I didn't waste any time for setting up a study routine for myself and I never faltered from it. All the hard work from that enabled me to change my attitude about my math abilities, because my understanding and confidence improved. Another thought I carried with me throughout the semester was actions follow thoughts. I will get whatever grade I envision for myself. I kept seeing myself as an A student, and I kept getting A's. With all these improvements I have made on myself I discovered I like math, and without these changes, I would have never known. Thank you, Sensei Callahan, for all you do."
