Synopsis

Sensei Dave Armstrong was a product of a broken family, torn apart by the tragic loss of his mother at the age of 13, leading to an early life in foster care, and youth correction facilities.

As an “at-risk” youth and a “product” of the inner-city educational system, young Sensei Dave was predestined to run with gangs, NOT graduate high school and be dead or in jail by the age of 18.

After his mother passed away, Sensei Dave lost all contact with his family, and was in and out of boy’s homes, juvenile hall, and foster homes in San Bernardino, California, for over 5 years.

BUT…along the way, he was influenced by two AMAZING people; his CASA, Ron Barnick, an Air Force pilot, and Sensei Otto Johnson, Dave's first Martial Arts Instructor. Without their mentoring, Sensei Dave Armstrong would not have been able to mentor, guide, help, and motivate hundreds, if not thousands of young people, mentors, foster parents, and board members.

This book is intended to help and motivate individuals working with our youth as foster parents, teachers, ministers, youth correctional officers, judges, attorneys, social workers, and the young people with whom they are working.

I hope my story helps you see that despite some of the situations “life” may throw at us…there is ALWAYS a way.
