God knows the times I have found myself in absurd situations.

A large part of my life revolves around my dad. Sometimes, I even feel a strong sense of connection, something very tangible when I learn something new in the martial arts.

We tend to take a great deal for granted, because you feel like you're going to live forever. It's only if you lose a friend, or maybe have a near-death experience, [that] many events and people in your life suddenly attain real significance.

Martial arts have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.

For what level of mediocrity will you settle?

Believe me, nothing is trivial.

Immortality is to live your life doing good things, and leaving your mark behind.
