Martial Arts
“In order to control myself I must first accept myself by going with and not against my nature.” ~ Bruce Lee
“Fight one more round. When your arms are so tired that you can hardly lift your hands to come on guard, fight one more round. When your nose is bleeding and your eyes are black and you are so tired that you wish your opponent would crack you one on the jaw and put you to sleep, fight one more round – remembering that the man who always fights one more round is never whipped.” ~ James Corbett
“It may seem difficult at first, but everything is difficult at first.” ~ Miyamoto Musashi
“Learning is like rowing upstream: not to advance is to drop back.” ~ Chinese Proverb
“Fight only after creating conditions for victory.” ~ Toyotomi Hideyoshi
“A procrastinator is a thief of his or her own time.” ~ Jhoon Rhee
“Every conflict is won before it is ever fought.” ~ Sun-tzu
“Whether in commerce, administration, or on the battlefield, leaders who win understand the Secret of Victory: Act first to finish first.” ~ Toyotomi Hideyoshi
“Training for strength and flexibility is a must. You must use it to support your techniques. Techniques alone are no good if you don’t support them with strength and flexibility.” ~ Bruce Lee
“You can map out a fight plan or a life plan, but when the action starts, it may not go the way you planned, and you’re down to your reflexes – your training. That’s where your roadwork shows. If you cheated on that in the dark of morning, you’re getting found out now, under the bright lights.” ~ Joe Frazier
“Brotherhood starts the day we walk off the street and into the training hall. There, regardless of who we are, we are all the same. We leave our differences at the door and we unite for one purpose, to help ourselves and each other become the best we can be” ~ Master Karen Eden
