True refinement seeks simplicity.

Training is one of the most neglected phases of athletics. Too much time is given to the development of skill and too little to the development of the individual for participation.

Good technique includes quick changes, great variety and speed. It may be a system of reversals much like a concept of God and the Devil. In the speed of events, which one is really in charge? Do they change places with lightning speed? The Chinese believe so. To put the heart of the martial arts in your own heart and have it be a part of you means total comprehension.

If you knew you had to fight for your life tomorrow, would you change your training today?

You will never learn anything new unless you are ready to accept yourself with your limitations. You must accept the fact that you are capable in some directions and limited in others, and you must develop your capabilities.

Understand your limitations and capitalize on them.

Simplicity of expression rather than complexity of form.
