Never depart from the way of martial arts.

A warrior has no confusion in his mind...This is true emptiness.

The true science of martial arts means practicing them in such a way that they will be useful at any time, and to teach them in such a way that they will be useful in all things.

Know your enemy, know his sword.

Always return your weapon along the same path it traveled out on. In this way you can use it again without having to relocate and rethink our attitude.
