Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless like water.
Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup,
you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle,
you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash.
Be water, my friend.
Gentlemen, welcome. I look forward to a tournament of truly epic proportions.
I mean here is this natural instinct and here is control
You are to combine the two in harmony if you have one to the extreme
you will be un scientific if you another to the extreme you become all

You see, actually, I do not teach, you know, karate, because I do not
believe in styles anymore. I mean I do not believe that there is such
thing as, like, Chinese way of fighting or Japanese way of fighting or
whatever way of fighting because if you do not have styles if you just
say well here here I am as a human being how can I express myself?
Totally and completely.
I mean that is the expression of the human body, I mean, everything, I
mean you know not just a hand and when you are talking about fighting
and it is (a real fighting) well then baby you'd better train every
part of your body.

Martial art has a very very deep meaning as far as my life is
concerned, because as an actor, as a martial artist, as a human being,
all this I have learned from martial art. To me OK, to me, ultimately
martial art means, honestly expressing yourself. I mean it is easy for
me to put on a show and be cocky But to express oneself honestly, not
lying to oneself And to express myself honestly
Now that, my friend, is very hard to do.
