oday, with science and technology moving forward so quickly, people should be smarter. People should live in the moment, living a life of knowledge and understanding. Still, a lot of people confuse themselves or let people confuse them. Lots of people try to be lazy themselves or let other people make them lazy. A lot of people make excuses for their lives, or take any chance to let people make excuses for them. People say, "I don't feel good today," "I have a light headache," "I ate something wrong last night," "it's raining and nasty outside," "it's cold outside, I don't want to go out," "it's too hot outside, too windy," or "Yesterday in the office someone wasn't nice to me." Whatever reason people can find, they use to slow their lives down, they don't want to move forward.
That’s why a lot of time I use different ways to wake people up. For example, I don’t want to let you read Confucius, because you’re already confused. What is true martial arts? Look at the Chinese words – “wushu”. The character “wu” is made up of two other characters, "halberd" (a kind of weapon) and "stop". It means stop using the weapons, stop using the mental art or physical art against other people and against yourself.
Instead of doing this, be a good person, be positive, use your mental and physical art to help yourself, help others, and help the world. Today, martial arts is used by many people to maintain good health. When you practice physical training, you must practice mental training as well. Understand that life is beautiful. Life is precious. We can’t afford to waste our beautiful life time.
Speaking about martial arts, even today many people are confused and never understand what martial arts means to them. A lot of people still believe “monkey style,” “drunken mantis style,” whatever style you think of, can be used in a real fight. That’s wrong. In a real fight, there is no style. You knock someone down as soon as possible – that’s a fight. You can use just one finger to knock people down, your palms, fist, elbow, shoulder, hip, knee, foot, head - there are no rules in a real fight. People are still confused because many instructors are cheating people, teaching them applications. For example, “you’re supposed to punch with your left fist, then kick with your right leg.” Let me tell you something – in a real fight, nobody tells you which part of their body they are going to use against you. Of course, in a different case, if you have 100% confidence in yourself and have spectacular skills, yes you can tell your opponent what you’re going to do.
