Even as you make progress, you need the discipline to keep from backtracking and sabotaging the success as it’s happening.

A child who is allowed to be disrespectful to his parents will not have true respect for anyone.

Why not whip the teacher when the pupil misbehaves?

There are a lot of self-imposed restrictions by people who somehow believe they have to fall in with a certain military cant. There was always a sense that we had to put things into words that would touch our troops‘ hearts, not just their heads.

Show me a poorly uniformed troop and I’ll show you a poorly uniformed leader.

It is the failing of youth not to be able to restrain its own violence.

When you are learning about a martial art, it is about respect.
