Things Live By Moving And Gain Strength

To Me, Ultimately, Martial Arts Means Honestly Expressing Yourself. Now, It Is Very Difficult To Do. It Has Always Been Very Easy For Me To Put On A Show And Be Cocky, And Be Flooded With A Cocky Feeling And Feel Pretty Cool And All That. I Can Make All Kinds Of Phoney Things. Blinded By It. Or I Can Show Some Really Fancy Movement. But To Experience Oneself Honestly, Not Lying To Oneself, And To Express Myself Honestly, Now That Is Very Hard To Do.

The Aim Of Art Is To Project An Inner Vision Into The World.

Never Take Your Eyes Off Your Opponent, Even When You Bow.

The Principle Of Martial Arts Is Not A Thing That Can Be Learned, Like A Science, By Fact-finding And Instruction In Facts. It Has To Grow Spontaneously, Like A Flower, In A Mind Free From Emotions And Desires.

The Change Is From Inner To Outer. We Start By Dissolving Our Attitude Not By Altering Outer Conditions.
