Digest the 41 Tenets of Andrew Tate & become the best man you can be.

Andrew Tate also known as Emory Andrew Tate III,  is a British-American kickboxer, commentator, and businessman. Andrew  Tate’s net worth is $350 million. He plays for the team Storm Gym and works with the divisions light heavyweight, cruiserweight, and heavyweight.

As a kickboxer, he is a 3-time ISKA world champion and Enfusion champion. Born in Washington, DC, and moved to England at four years old, he fought out of Luton, England, until his retirement. Tate made his comeback in February 2020 at KO Masters 7 in Bucharest, Romania,  where he presently lives. His mother put him through a self-defense class, and as a result, he developed his skills. He was punching the machine and ringing the bell at the top cost of one pound at a carnival one day.  Fate led him to Amir Subasic, and history was formed.

As an adult, he could not punch that hard, but as a child, he could ring the bell almost 100% of the time. Tateshinkai blended all of  Bhodukai’s styles and was pleased with the results. The first time the  Dutch have seen a fighter who does not always keep his hands high, and who seldom utilizes the “turtle” position to fight. Relying on superior speed and strength allows for dangerous forms that most combatants would never try. For generations of human history, he and his poems have been retreating to Wudan Mountain’s mystical area, where he has been  studying forbidden skills. To prove to others that Tateshinkai is correct, he engages in combat. There is interest from both the West and the East, as shown by his bout in China.

Who was Plato?

Plato, (born 428/427 bce, Athens, Greece—died 348/347, Athens), ancient Greek philosopher, student of Socrates (c. 470–399 bce), teacher of Aristotle (384–322 bce), and founder of the Academy, best known as the author of philosophical works of unparalleled influence. Building on the demonstration by Socrates that those regarded as experts in ethical matters did not have the understanding necessary for a good human life, Plato introduced the idea that their mistakes were due to their not engaging properly with a class of entities he called forms, chief examples of which were Justice, Beauty, and Equality. Whereas other thinkers—and Plato himself in certain passages—used the term without any precise technical force, Plato in the course of his career came to devote specialized attention to these entities. As he conceived them, they were accessible not to the senses but to the mind alone, and they were the most important constituents of reality, underlying the existence of the sensible world and giving it what intelligibility it has. In metaphysics Plato envisioned a systematic, rational treatment of the forms and their interrelations, starting with the most fundamental among them (the Good, or the One); in ethics and moral psychology he developed the view that the good life requires not just a certain kind of knowledge (as Socrates had suggested) but also habituation to healthy emotional responses and therefore harmony between the three parts of the soul (according to Plato, reason, spirit, and appetite). His works also contain discussions in aesthetics, political philosophy, theology, cosmology, epistemology, and the philosophy of language. His school fostered research not just in philosophy narrowly conceived but in a wide range of endeavors that today would be called mathematical or scientific. (brittanica.com)

Who was Miyamoto Musashi?   

Miyamoto Musashi, original name Miyamoto Masana, artistic name Niten, (born 1584, Mimasaka or Harima, Japan—died June 13, 1645, Higo), famous Japanese soldier-artist of the early Edo (Tokugawa) period (1603–1867).  Musashi began his career as a fighter early in life when, at age 13, he killed a man in single combat. In 1600 he was on the losing side of the Battle of Sekigahara (which paved the way for establishing the Tokugawa shogunate), becoming one of the rōnin (masterless samurai). In time he set out on a personal quest to develop perfect sword technique. He invented the nitō ichi-ryū, the style of fencing with two swords, and is often referred to today as kensai (‘‘sword saint’’). Musashi claimed to have fought in more than 60 individual sword fights, many of which were to the death and all of which he won. (brittanica.com)

What is Bushido? (bu·shi·do/ˈbo͞oSHēˌdō/, Japanese: “Way of the Warrior”) 

The Bushido code of conduct, closely tied to Samurai culture, played an important role in the expansion of Asian art, Japanese values, and many important traditions like tea ceremonies and the art of samurai sword-making. An unwritten code of chivalrous behavior, Bushido later became the basis for the teaching of ethics in Japan, with principles that still remain relevant today. Below, our editors explore the history of the Bushido, or Samurai code, along with modern interpretations of how the code can be applied to everyday life.

Bushido is a code of conduct that emerged in Japan from the Samurai, or Japanese warriors, who spread their ideals throughout society. They drew inspiration from Confucianism, which is a relatively conservative philosophy and system of beliefs that places a great deal of importance on loyalty and duty. The Bushido code contains eight key principles or virtues that warriors were expected to uphold.
