Training
Philosophies and Proverbs
Training deals not with an
object,
But with the
human spirit and human emotions.
One trains neither for self or others
- in true training,
One trains for training's
sake.
The mastery of proper fundamentals
and their progressive application,
Is the
secret of being a great fighter.
Endurance is lost rapidly if one
ceases to work at its maintenance.
The best form of endurance exercise
is the performance of the event.
Attain stillness while
moving,
Like the
moon beneath the waves that ever go on rolling and
rocking.
Skill is best acquired by learning
accuracy and precision first,
Before the
skill act is attempted with much speed and
power.
To become a champion requires a
condition of readiness that causes the individual to approach with
pleasure even the most tedious practice session.
The more "ready" the person is
to respond to stimulus,
The more satisfaction he finds in the
response,
And the more "unready" he
is,
The more annoying he finds it to be forced to
act.
One can only develop an instinctive
sense of distance,
If he is
able to move about smoothly and speedily.
Always seek good balance in motion
and not in stillness.
