Be a calm beholder of what is happening around you.

Let yourself go with dis-ease, be with it, and keep it company. This is the way to be rid of it.

My style? You can call it the art of fighting without fighting.

If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Moving, be like water. Still, be like a mirror. Respond like an echo.

You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup.

In combat, spontaneity rules; rote performance of technique perishes.

The core of understanding lies in the individual mind, and until that is touched everything is uncertain and superficial. Truth cannot be perceived until we come to fully understand our potential and ourselves. After all, knowledge in the martial arts ultimately means self-knowledge.
