Since that time, he has trained in a multitude of systems; what arts he has not researched his students have. As a young man the reality of street violence was a way of life and as such Kelly always sought to functional self-defense in his personal research.  Mr. Worden instills the Warrior Credo and ethical values of \u201cHonor, Trust, and Respect.\u201d   Within Natural Spirit Int\u2019l this Warrior Credo for personal development still exists today, integrated into all aspects of the system and balanced to train the Mind, Body, and Spirit as a way of life rather than just seeking physical fighting skills.
