“Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life!

Such an attitude can be developed only if winning is closely tied to the practitioner’s ideals and dreams.”
