A person cannot forget someone who is good to them.
In life, what more can you ask for than to be real?
A teacher is never a giver of truth; he is a guide, a pointer to the truth that each student must find for himself.
To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities.
What we are after is the root and not the branches. The root is the real knowledge; the branches are surface knowledge. Real knowledge breeds 'body feel' and personal expression; surface knowledge breeds mechanical conditioning and imposing limitation and squelches creativity.
It's not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential.
Don't ignore the five senses in search of a sixth.
Life is an ever-flowing process and somewhere on the path some unpleasant things will pop up - it might leave a scar, but then life is flowing, and like running water, when it stops it grows stale. Go bravely on, my friend, because each experience teaches us a lesson. Keep blasting because life is such that sometimes it is nice and sometimes it is not.
Never take your eyes off your opponent... even when you bow...
The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus.
A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come. When the opponent expands, I contract; and when he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, "I" do not hit, "it" hits all by itself.
Everything you do, if not in a relaxed state will be done at a lesser level than you are proficient. Thus the tensed expert marksman will aim at a level less than his/her student.
Simplicity is the key to brilliance.
Turn your sparring into play - but always play seriously.
