You must accept the fact that there is no help but self-help. I cannot tell you how to gain freedom since freedom exists within you.

Without frustration you will not discover that you might be able to do something on your own. We grow through conflict.

Dedication, absolute dedication, is what keeps one ahead!

Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.

Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water.

When we hold to the core, the opposite sides are the same if they are seen from the center of the moving circle. I do not experience; I am experience. I am not the subject of experience; I am that experience. I am awareness. Nothing else can be I or can exist.

To me, ultimately, martial arts means honestly expressing yourself. Now, it is very difficult to do. It has always been very easy for me to put on a show and be cocky, and be flooded with a cocky feeling and feel pretty cool and all that. I can make all kinds of phoney things. Blinded by it. Or I can show some really fancy movement. But to experience oneself honestly, not lying to oneself, and to express myself honestly, now that is very hard to do.
