Learn It All, Then Forget

Give Up Thinking As Though Not Giving It Up. Observe Techniques As Though Not Observing.

If Nothing Within You Stays Rigid, Outward Things Will Disclose Themselves. Moving, Be Like Water. Still, Be Like A Mirror. Respond Like An Echo.

A Good Martial Artist Does Not Become Tense, But Ready.

Too Much Horsing Around With Unrealistic Stances And Classic Forms And Rituals Is Just Too Artificial And Mechanical, And Doesn't Really Prepare The Student For Actual Combat. A Guy Could Get Clobbered While Getting Into This Classical Mess. Classical Methods Like These, Which I Consider A Form Of Paralysis, Only Solidify And Constrain What Was Once Fluid. Their Practitioners Are Merely Blindly Rehearsing Routines And Stunts That Will Lead Nowhere.

I Did What I Came Here To Do. What I've Done I've Done With Sincerity And To The Best Of My Ability. You Can't Expect Much More From Life.
