What You Habitually Think Largely Determines What

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.

There Are No Limits. If It Kills You, It Kills You. A Man Must Constantly Exceed His Level.

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.

Take What's Useful, Discard What Is Not.

Action Is A High Road To Self-confidence And Esteem. Where It Is Open, All Energies Flow Toward It. It Comes Readily To Most People, And Its Rewards Are Tangible.
