Breathing can and should bring you into a ready-to-act condition instantly.

The key quality that anyone has to develop - a regular person as well as a warrior - is humility. If you don't try to develop humility, what you end up developing is pride, and that's destructive; it destroys yourself and it destroys the world around you.

Breathing can and should bring you into a ready-to-act condition instantly.

To any situation the reaction may be different. That's why it's useless - in a way - to memorize patterns, because the possibilities in life are endless, and you cannot be prepared for every single thing. Therefore it's better to be able to move in a natural way, and not even physically but intuitively.

Natural movement is the shortest way to an effective result. Like the way the water runs, it always finds the right way.
