I have always been a martial artist by choice, an actor by profession, but above all, am actualising myself to be an artist of life.

Art is the way to the absolute and to the essence of human life. The aim of art is not the one-sided promotion of spirit, soul and senses, but the opening of all human capacities – thought, feeling, will – to the life rhythm of the world of nature. So will the voiceless voice be heard and the self be brought into harmony with it.

The martial arts are based upon understanding, hard work and a total comprehension of skills. Power training and the use of force are easy, but total comprehension of all of the skills of the martial arts is very difficult to achieve.

You will never get any more out of this life than you expect.

Humility forms the basis of honor, just as the low ground forms the foundation of a high elevation.

Relationship is the mirror in which you discover yourself - to be is to be related.

Emotion can be the enemy, if you give into your emotion, you lose yourself. You must be at one with your emotion, because the body always follows the mind.
