Interesting the idea that we don't in our world, and heavens since the days the Greeks who did
Combined philosophy and arts with sports. But quite clearly the oriental attitude is that the three
Are facets of the same thing
Man, listen you see. Really, to me, okay?
To me, ultimately, martial art means honestly expressing yourself, now it is very difficult to do
You have to train, you have to keep your reflexes so that when you want it, it's there
When you want to move you're moving
And when you move you're determined to move not to keep one inch, not anything less than that
If I want to punch, I'm gonna do it man and I'm gonna do it
Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless, like water
Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup
You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle
You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot
Water can flow, or it can crash, be water my friend
I have several questions, what is the highest technique you hope to achieve? To have no technique
Very good, what are your thoughts on facing an opponent? There is no opponent

A good fight should be, like a small play, but played seriously
A good martial artist does not become tense
But ready, not thinking yet, not dreaming, ready for whatever may come
When the opponent expands I contract, when it contracts I expand
Then when there is an opportunity, I do not hit, It hits all by itself
Tell me now, Shaolin commandment number 13
A martial artist has to take responsibility for himself and to accept the consequences of his own doings
We need emotional content, try again
I said emotional content, not anger, now try again, with me
That's it, how did it feel to you? Let me think
Don't think, feel, it is like a finger pointing away to the moon
Don't concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory
Do you understand? Never take your eyes off your opponent, even when you bow
That's it
