    Talking Too Many...

    Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.

    Higher conciousness through harder contact.

    When my opponent expands, I contract. When my opponent contrats, I expand. When the oppotunity presents, I do not hit. It hits all by itself.

    Neo: I know Kung Fu.

    Morpheus: Show me!

    and many more...

    Behold, I see my father and mother.
    I see all my dead relatives seated.
    I see my master seated in Paradise and Paradise is beautiful and green; with him are men and boy servants.
    He calls me. Take me to him.

    "you say you can't do it? try it a thousand more times. then tell me if you can't do it." -- sifu, probably swiped from his own sifu.

    "5. 4. 4. 4. 5. 5. 4. 4. 3. 3. 3. 2. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 1. and relax" and "oh, i lost count. just keep going and i'll tell you when to stop." -- ma'am, demonstrating why we said such workouts were done according to "di-sije time."

    people of martial society has some inside secrets
    suo po bu zi qian
    if they let you in on it, you realize it is really simple.
    nu shi bu suo po
    but, if they don't tell you
    rang ni xiang shi nian
    you can think about it for ten years and still be clueless.

    this really applies to any type of trade "secret".

    Tao

    "Some say my teaching is nonsense. Others call it lofty but impractical. To those who have looked inside themselves, this nonsense makes perfect sense, and the loftiness has roots that run deep. I have just three things to teach; simplicity, patience, and compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. Simple in both thoughts and actions, you return to the source. Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all things in the world." - Lao Tzu
    "Repugnant is a creature that would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven, conscious of it's fleeting time here." - Tool

    Not to hit is not to teach
    Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it
