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

Choose the positive. You have choice, you are master of your attitude, choose the positive, the constructive. Optimism is a faith that leads to success.

A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come. When the opponent expands, I contract; and when he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, "I" do not hit, "it" hits all by itself.

Awareness is without choice, without demand, without anxiety; in that state of mind, there is perception.

A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.

Be like water, my friend.

To me, the extraordinary aspect of martial arts lies in its simplicity. The easy way is also the right way, and martial arts is nothing at all special; the closer to the true way of martial arts, the less wastage of expression there is.
