Ronin21 is focused on self-mastery.  Specifically, Ronin21 is about exploring and making your own path… and finding your life purpose. 

While the name of this site is Ronin21, implying wanderer or one without a master, martial artists find their purpose through service to nation and a select community, often in hierarchical organizations such as the military, police, government, etc.

At some point we have to retire. This may come by choice, or by mandate.  So now one finds themself in a quandary of building a new sense of purpose outside a community for which they may have belonged to for decades.  This can be stressful as it is a form of death, leading toward a new life… alone.
