There is no hesitation, there is no time to think.


Train to the point of moving without thinking, the movements becomes you - not thought of.


Fighting without attachment to winning or losing, an abandonment of self.


No emotions involve, either fear or aggression.


The body is free to move, without the dictate of mind.


The level of fighting becomes unnatural, it is the control over the basic instinct.


Whether it is fire or ice, the inner calm is the same.


The opponents fighting spirit does not concern you, because your mind is immovable.


Your minds is like full moon reflecting the calm surface of water, clarity of the situation and no preoccupation.


Your opponent cannot read you, because there is no shadow.
