The knowledge and skills you have achieved are meant to be forgotten so you can float comfortably in emptiness, without obstruction.

Defeat is not defeat unless accepted as a reality-in your own mind.

A good fighter must sense rather than perceive his chance to strike.

Zen is not “attained” by mirror-wiping mediation, but by “self-forgetfulness in the existential 'present' of life here and now.” We do not “come”, we “are.” Don't strive to become, but be.

We should devote ourselves to being self-sufficient and must not depend upon the external ratings by others for our happiness.

The more relaxed the muscles are, the more energy can flow through the body. Using muscular tensions to try to 'do' the punch or attempting to use brute force to knock someone over will only work to opposite effect.

The essence of fighting is the art of moving at the right time.
