''If we think back through history to the great examples of a finely tuned warrior, it would have to include the Japanese samurai. The training of a samurai warrior was centered on 'union.' An expert samurai represented the total integration, the total union, of mind and body: quick, clear, thinking combined with precision and strength of the body, working as one.''

—Jerry Yellin, Co-Chair of Operation Warrior Wellness
