Look inside yourself

what doesn't kill me is dead when I'm through with it.

No matter where you go, there you are.

The man that knows not, and does not knoew he knows not, is a fool, shun him
The man that knows not, and knows he knows not, he is simple, teach him
The man that knows, and does not know he knows, he is asleep, wake him
The man that knows, and knows he knows, he is wise, follow him

You can never tell whether the tipsy lout at the bar is a harmless drunk, or a nigh-unstoppable drunken master -WotC

If it works, do it. If it doesn't, screw it!

Pain is your friend. Get to know it well enough, and it won't rub you the wrong way when you meet again

I remember being told as a yellow belt:

"We don't learn to fight here, we learn to win"

The context wasn't one of arrogance, or how great our style was, it was a statement to stop us 'trading' with an opponent and to just take him out as quick as possible.

Stuck with me, bit like Bruce Lee's going to the heart of the matter or one of the underlying themes in Five Rings. Less eloquent, but more relevant to me at 14 yrs old.

It's my way,Or the highway. If you dont want to train hard,You can always go to a mcdojo.

If you dont get a blackeye you're not training hard enough. When teaching children selfdefense,Make it fun,& They will remember that,& Do the same when They become an instructor.

Solitude is a nice place to visit, but terrible place to stay.
