The spirit of the individual is determined by his dominating thought habits.

You and your opponent are one. There is a coexisting relationship between you. You coexist with your opponent and become his complement, absorbing his attack and using his force to overcome him.

What you habitually think largely determines what you will ultimately become.

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

It is better to live as a broken piece of jade, than to live as a useless clay.

The more aware you become, the more you shed from day to day what you have learned so that your mind is always fresh and uncontaminated by previous conditioning.

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