To Me, Racial Barriers Do Not Exist In Reality. If I Say That 'everyone Under The Sun Is A Member Of A Universal Family,' You May Think That I Am Bluffing And Being Idealistic.

So, In Other Words, They're Paying Me To Show Them, In Combative Form, The Art Of Expressing The Human Body.

You Need Emotional Content.

Love Is Like A Friendship Caught On Fire. In The Beginning A Flame, Very Pretty, Often Hot And Fierce, But Still Only Light And Flickering. As Love Grows Older, Our Hearts Mature And Our Love Becomes As Coals, Deep-burning And Unquenchable.

The Core Of Understanding Lies In The Individual Mind, And Until That Is Touched Everything Is Uncertain And Superficial. Truth Cannot Be Perceived Until We Come To Fully Understand Our Potential And Ourselves. After All, Knowledge In The Martial Arts Ultimately Means Self-knowledge.

It Is True That The Mental Aspect Of Kung-fu Is The Desired End; However, To Achieve This End, Technical Skill Must Come First.

A Self-willed Man Has No Other Aim Than His Own Growth.

The Three Most Difficult Things In Life Are: 1. To Keep A Secret. 2. To Forget An Injury. 3. To Make Good Use Of Leisure.

You Must Accept The Fact That There Is No Help But Self-help. I Cannot Tell You How To Gain Freedom Since Freedom Exists Within You.

Art Reaches Its Greatest Peak When Devoid Of Self-consciousness. Freedom Discovers Man The Moment He Loses Concern Over What Impression He Is Making Or About To Make.

I Wish Neither To Possess Nor To Be Possessed. I No Longer Covet 'paradise'. More Important, I No Longer Fear 'hell'. The Medicine For My Suffering I Had Within Me From The Very Beginning But I Did Not Take It. My Ailment Came From Within Myself, But I Did Not Observe It, Until This Moment. Now I See That I Will Never Find The Light Unless, Like The Candle, I Am My Own Fuel, Consuming Myself.

Art Calls For Complete Mastery Of Techniques, Developed By Reflection Within The Soul.

Bring The Mind Into Sharp Focus And Make It Alert So That It Can Immediately Intuit Truth, Which Is Everywhere. The Mind Must Be Emancipated From Old Habits, Prejudices, Restrictive Thought Processes And Even Ordinary Thought Itself.

I Have Always Been A Martial Artist By Choice, An Actor By Profession, But Above All, Am Actualising Myself To Be An Artist Of Life.

Boards Don't Hit Back.

What Is True Stillness? Stillness In Movement.

The Consciousness Of Self Is The Greatest Hindrance To The Proper Execution Of All Physical Action.

The Aim Of Art Is To Project An Inner Vision Into The World.

The Happiness That Is Derived From Excitement Is Like A Brilliant Fire- Soon It Will Go Out.

Life Is Never Stagnation. It Is Constant Movement, Un-rhythmic Movement, As We As Constant Change. Things Live By Moving And Gain Strength As They Go.

The Attitude, 'you Can Win If You Want To Badly Enough,' Means That The Will To Win Is Constant. No Amount Of Punishment, No Amount Of Effort, No Condition Is Too 'tough' To Take In Order To Win. Such An Attitude Can Be Developed Only If Winning Is Closely Tied To The Practitioner's Ideals And Dreams.

The Possession Of Anything Begins In The Mind.

The Western Approach To Reality Is Mostly Through Theory, And Theory Begins By Denying Reality - To Talk About Reality, To Go Around Reality, To Catch Anything That Attracts Our Sense-intellect And Abstract It Away From Reality Itself. Thus Philosophy Begins By Saying That The Outside World Is Not A Basic Fact, That Its Existence Can Be Doubted And That Every Proposition In Which The Reality Of The Outside World Is Affirmed Is Not An Evident Proposition But One That Needs To Be Divided, Dissected And Analyzed. It Is To Stand Consciously Aside And Try To Square A Circle.

Anxiety Is The Gap Between The Now And The Then. So If You Are In The Now, You Can't Be Anxious, Because Your Excitement Flows Immediately Into Ongoing Spontaneous Activity.

Optimism Is A Faith That Leads To Success.

I Personally Do Not Believe In The Word Style. Why? Because, Unless There Are Human Beings With Three Arms And Four Legs, Unless We Have Another Group Of Human Beings That Are Structually Different From Us, There Can Be No Different Style Of Fighting.

Unfortunately, Now In Boxing People Are Only Allowed To Punch. In Judo, People Are Only Allowed To Throw. I Do Not Despise These Kinds Of Martial Arts. What I Mean Is, We Now Find Rigid Forms Which Create Differences Among Clans, And The World Of Martial Art Is Shattered As A Result.

You Must Have Complete Determination. The Worst Opponent You Can Come Across Is One Whose Aim Has Become An Obsession. For Instance, If A Man Has Decided That He Is Going To Bite Off Your Nose No Matter What Happens To Him In The Process, The Chances Are He Will Succeed In Doing It.

To Be Certain, Every Day There Can Be A Revelation Or A New Discovery.

He Who Wants To Succeed Should Learn How To Fight, To Strive And To Suffer. You Can Acquire A Lot In Life, If You Are Prepared To Give Up A Lot To Get It.

A Fight Is Not Won By One Punch Or Kick. Either Learn To Endure Or Hire A Bodyguard.

It Is Not What Happens That Is Success Or Failure, But What It Does To The Heart Of Man.

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