SPRING HILL — It’s about discipline. Respect. Tradition. Giving back to the community.
Joseph Lotrecchiano, 49, believes that the martial arts teach all that and more, and he’s eager to share his knowledge with everyone who signs up and agrees to follow those principles.
He has a black belt in Aikibudo, but it’s not about belts or ranks or status, Lotrecchiano said on a recent Tuesday night at his home. It’s about using your knowledge for good.
He said he felt bad that many parents cannot afford to pay for the training for their children, and the same for many adults, and he’s “paying it forward,” sharing what it’s done for him.
