If mere mechanical efficiency can make everyone a martial artist, then all is well. Unfortunately, combat, like freedom, is something that can not be preconceived.

There is "what is" only when there is no comparing and to live with "what is" is to be peaceful.

We have great work ahead of us, and it needs devotion and much, much energy. To grow, to discover, we need involvement, which is something I experience every day - sometimes good, sometimes frustrating. No matter what, you must let your inner light guide you out of the darkness.

For it is easy to criticize and break down the spirit of others, but to know yourself takes a lifetime.

Because of styles people are separated. Research your own experience, absorb what is useful, reject what is useless, add what is essentially your own.

Only the self-sufficient stand alone - most people follow the crowd and imitate.

Art requires imagination. It requires Creativity. Creativity requires experience and experience comes from your life. And your life is expressed in your art.
