Sayings:
Stripe:
To beat action, meet it.
Fair play is when your opponent’s definition of fair play is equally matched with yours.
It is not the size of the man, but the size of the fear that has been the cause of many a defeat.
Slow to learn, slow to forget.
Anger can often constipate your retaliatory efforts.
Belt:
While there is a difference between the terms “opposite” and “reverse” both provide answers to thoroughly understanding the effects of motion.
Always strike from where the natural weapons are found during the time of an attack.
Wasted inches are wasted time.
Knowledge is BOUND when one is compelled to tradition. Knowledge is ENDLESS when tradition is bound.
