To practice martial arts science, is to utilize a discipline that is higher, in other words, cannot claim to be a martial artist if you do not practice daily the martial arts science. You have to be passive, humble, and have the spirit of a warrior to be able to wax in at an instant and wax out in a blink of a second.. You must be able to step to the plate when the situation is in your face and you cannot avoid it. You must overcome your fears and not dwell on the past but utilize the present and never think you're the best. Satay alert and pay attention to detail always.Grasp your roots and be good to yourself. - by Grandmaster Soto
