Put every great teacher in a room, and they'd agree about everything, but put their disciples in there and they'd argue about everything.

I am not teaching you anything. I just help you to explore yourself.

What we are after is the root and not the branches. The root is the real knowledge; the branches are surface knowledge. Real knowledge breeds 'body feel' and personal expression; surface knowledge breeds mechanical conditioning and imposing limitation and squelches creativity.

If mere mechanical efficiency can make everyone a martial artist, then all is well. Unfortunately, combat, like freedom, is something that can not be preconceived.

The reward is found in the work.

Action is a high road to self-confidence and esteem. Where it is open, all energies flow toward it. It comes readily to most people, and its rewards are tangible.

Knowledge earns you power, character earns you respect.
