The true work of the martial arts is progress, not perfection
“Your technique means nothing if you're not using your talents for the betterment of humanity.”
“ just as a stool requires three legs to stand upright so the taekwondoist must cultivate basic skills, meaningful forms, and effective sparring in order to have both feet firmly planted in the art”
“There is no "can't" in martial arts. It is perfectly all right for students to state that they are "still working on it", "have not mastered it yet", or "are trying as best they can" as all of thos...”
“Flow with whatever may happen, and let your mind be free: Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.”
“If youre not afraid of working hard, self-reliance comes easy!”
“there is only one way under high heaven to get the best of an argument - and that is to avoid it .”
“If you argue and rankle and contradict, you may achieve a victory sometimes; but it will be an empty victory because you will never get your opponent's good will.”
