To me, ultimately, martial arts means honestly expressing yourself.
Moving, be like water. Still, be like a mirror. Respond like an echo.
People try to hold onto the sameness. This holding onto prevents growth.
The abdominal and waist region coordinate all parts of the body and act as the center or generator. Therefore, you can promote the ability to control the body's action and master your will more easily.
Knowledge earns you power, character earns you respect.
Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
