Knowing Is Not Enough, You Must Apply

The Past Is An Illusion. You Must Learn To Live In The Present And Accept Yourself For What You Are Now. What You Lack In Flexibility And Agility You Must Make Up With Knowledge And Constant Practice.

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 Knowledge And Skills You Have Achieved Are Meant To Be Forgotten So You Can Float Comfortably In Emptiness, Without Obstruction.

Pessimism Blunts The Tools You Need To Succeed.

A Quick Temper Will Make A Fool Of You Soon Enough.
