Learning the art of the sword is learning the art of life.
The ultimate goal of martial arts is not having to use them.
Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the men of old; seek what they sought.
Martial arts is not about fighting; it's about building character.
The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in combat.
In martial arts, the reward for humility and attention is knowledge and skill.
It is not the size of a man but the size of his heart that matters.
The true art of martial arts is to be neither seen nor heard.
