A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come. When the opponent expands, I contract; and when he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, "I" do not hit, "it" hits all by itself.

Truth comes when your mind and heart are purged of all sense of striving and you are no longer trying to become somebody; it is there when the mind is very quiet, listening timelessly to everything.

Out of chaos, find simplicity, From discord, find harmony.

Art lives where absolute freedom is, because where it is not, there can be no creativity.

I personally do not believe in the word style. Why? Because, unless there are human beings with three arms and four legs, unless we have another group of human beings that are structually different from us, there can be no different style of fighting.

Remember my friend to enjoy your planning as well as your accomplishment, for life is too short for negative energy.

Do not deny the classical approach, simply as a reaction, or you will have created another pattern and trapped yourself there.
