A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready.

To understand your fear is the beginning of really seeing.

A good teacher protects his pupils from his own influence.

Empty your cup so that it may be filled; become devoid to gain totality.

Once I slow down because I think I have reached my peak, then my skills will go nowhere but down

Voidness is that which stands right in the middle between this and that. The void is all-inclusive, having no opposite--there is nothing which it excludes or opposes. It is living void, because all forms come out of it and whoever realizes the void is filled with life and power and the love of all beings.

A good martial artist does not become tend but ready, not thinking but jet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come.
