How you just showed up one day at a karate tournament in line with the rest of us to compete in the black belt division in kata and weapons kata, and then went on to place in both. You blew me away. We, I mean the Detroit black belts, hadn't seen a woman like you in competition. And with that, we have been friends for over 40 years.- - Ray Gabriel, 7th Dan Isshinryu ----- -I met Marilyn Fierro many years ago. She is one of those people who is an example of how martial arts can enrich any person's life. She has achieved so much through her training, both in gaining expertise and also, and more importantly, in applying the many lessons she has learned to all parts of her life. Marilyn has done so much to build purpose and joy in her life through martial arts, and that is the true goal of training.- - Fumio Demura, 9th Dan Shitoryu ----- -Reading Marilyn Fierro's new book brought back many mixed emotions of my own personal journey through life and the martial arts. Her accounts through her childhood and life offer an incredible story of persistence, courage, determination, passion, and a strong desire to be our best in any given situation. It is especially gratifying and satisfying to read the names of wonderful people I have met through my personal friendship with Marilyn over these many years.- - Mike Stone, Retired Karate Competitive Champion, Fight Choreographer, Motivational Speaker
