Refreshing breath of honesty and words of wisdom sir

[scottjohnson]

Animals are the ultimate martial artists, they don't think about what they are going to do, they just react .

[shaneleonard]

Experience is necessary. Stop being afraid to loose. Failure is your best teacher.

[gabornemes]

This was possibly the best answer that could be given.

[johnmalcolm]

The rule for street fight is:
Break all the rules and fight dirty.

[tempest]

I do both Shaolin Kung fu and sanda so it’s nice seeing a master stating facts

[anaykunwar]

Bro ended the debate on which marital art is the best

[jameylebel]

Truth. Also, avoiding confrontation by using your best weapon, your brain, is always your first option.

[Machocamacho]

The famous Bruce Lee once said the art of fighting without fighting..

[russellmanley]

I remember seeing at the gas station on the Palisades Parkway. I was going to the bathroom room and you were coming out and I yelled out loud... Hey! You're that Shaolin Monk. You smiled and shook my hand.

[Ggslayer]

This man is speaking the truth. I do taekwondo and my master taught me to avoid as many fights as possible. Some people who don’t do martial arts are like “can you knock me out with a kick” or they say that kicks never work in a fight. This man has wisdom

[diegolopezzz]

That was surprisingly candid answer, and absolutely true. I mean there’s several world championships that didn’t start training until their late teens or even 20s and they just have a talent for violence and the gift of being able to will the body to move the way the mind wants it to move

[artbluevibe]

Be water my friend and honestly express oneself.
Bruce Lee.

[GGNERTIX]

One of the things why i love shaolin kung fu is that their masters are so wise ❤

[bharathraj]

True words of wisdom..! Respect to the shoalin master

[gokulhemanthkumar]

Amazing. Pure wisdom. After all, fighting is just movement with our body, using our limbs. Any style can be made to work. It's the practitioner that makes it work.

[tropicvibe]

Some techniques in certain styles do not work for everyone because of weight, size, strength, etc., so I need to find what works for me regardless of what style I practice. That takes time as continuous sparring develops that awareness. It's like finding out there are dozens of ways of stopping a punch like blocking, parrying, catching, hitting, dodging, bob and weave, etc but dont know what's best according to my bodies capabilities.

[EngPheniks]

Kung Fu isn't just about fighting or hurting others. It's more about helping others and serving the community.

[eyezonly]

He is so right. Its no lie. Some get it. Some don't.

[denvergalut]

Good thing about learning martial arts is not the art of learning how to fight but the thing they called self discipline.
