Thanks to his willingness to face me, my life takes shape, my path evolves.
Humility is the first rule of martial arts. Either you learn humility quickly, or you leave because your ego can't handle losing repeatedly.
Humanity's true purpose is not to become stronger physically, it's to become more intelligent-from armies, who increasingly fight with specialized units rather than regiments and tanks, to garage owners, who use a lot more than jacks to fix your engine. As intelligence prevails throughout humanity, maybe there'll be fewer wars and better cars.
It’s OK to get butterfly in your stomach; the key is to learn how to make them fly in formation.
The only way to ever truly get your confidence and swagger back, I've learned, is to fight for them.
One of the lessons I learned in all those years practicing karate is that progress only comes in small incremental portions.
A true master gives all his knowledge. But only when the student is ready.
My mentality is like a samurai they used to train every day, work on their technique to make themselves better, almost perfect, perfection is impossible but every day you get closer and that's what I want . Every day I want to get better than I was the day before. I want to use every second of my life, every time I have in my life to make me a better fighter. It's more than a job it's a way of living.
It’s like life. The more knowledge you get, the more questions you ask. The smarter you get, the more you realize that everything can be possible.

Every little thing you do leads up to a bigger thing.
I want to use every second of my life, every time that I have in my life, to make me a better fighter. That's why I'm a martial artist. For me, it's more than a job - it's a way of living
There is no luck in life, everything happens for a reason. Every little thing that you do... leads up to a bigger thing. And that's the story of my life.
Some people learn to lose. Others lose and learn.
