(Saw this topic on another forum so thought I'd add it here. I'm sure we've all got our own mentors that fit the description and it would be interesting to hear about them)
The instructor I remember who epitomised 'valour and virtue' was the late Frank Farenden B.E.M. Ex Military and a ruthless Judoka, he dedicated his later years to working with the handicapped. A life well spent.
Tough guys that chuck their weight around are two a penny. Frank had it all. Hard as nails if he needed to be but genuinely helpful to his students and his fellow man, especially those less fortunate than himself.
That's the kind of example I respect. "Get strong! Help others"
