Choices are Pinnacle to Life

Life at Warrior Meets Scholar

The Warrior: The most difficult path one can walk. It is a life of unrelenting discipline, complete dedication to one's skillset, and an unbreakable moral code. There are not many who will choose this life of servitude.

The Scholar: One who also chooses a very difficult path to walk. It is a life of endless gains in knowledge while maintaining an objective view of the world. As one gains knowledge they must not be tainted by the manipulation of written words. An extremely difficult task.

Warrior meets Scholar: When these two meet they are an unstoppable force. They are able to answer the following: "Are you able to be both martial and spiritual? Can you overcome your greatest opponent?"

Leo Maxwell III

Leo is our resident Border Collie.  He is a lover not a fighter and will never pass up a chance for a hug or a game of fetch.  Shiny objects will distract him and he enjoys spending most of his time staring at our cat Smallz.

Smallz Fu

Smallz is the real brains behind the operation.  She's loves getting a good nap and getting a long scritch scratch session.  Do not get between her and her macros!  You will regret your life decisions up to this point.
