An ounce of logic can be worth more than a ton of tradition that has become obsolete through the weathering of time.

Traditionalists often study what is taught, not what there is to create.

Principles of motion take precedence over sequence of motion.

There are no pure styles of karate. Purity comes only when pure knuckles meet pure flesh, no matter who delivers or receives.

Condition and guts take over where knowledge and skill end.

Knowledge does not grow like a tree where you dig a hole, plant your feet, cover them with dirt, and pour water on them daily. Knowledge grows with time, work, and dedicated effort. It cannot come by any other means.

The true Martial Artist is not the one who fears change, but the one who causes it to happen.
