The best form of endurance exercise is the performance of the event.

Art calls for complete mastery of techniques, developed by reflection within the soul.

Too much horsing around with unrealistic stances and classic forms and rituals is just too artificial and mechanical, and doesn't really prepare the student for actual combat. A guy could get clobbered while getting into this classical mess. Classical methods like these, which I consider a form of paralysis, only solidify and constrain what was once fluid. Their practitioners are merely blindly rehearsing routines and stunts that will lead nowhere.

Here I am as a human being...how can I express myself, totally and completely?

Boards don't hit back.

Choose the positive. You have choice, you are master of your attitude, choose the positive, the constructive. Optimism is a faith that leads to success.

Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.
