Becoming a warrior requires hours of solitary practice. This practice is more than training the body; the mind must become the sharpest weapon of all.
To keep a calm attitude in the face of danger, even overwhelming lethal peril, is a victory over self. It then becomes a matter of employing hard-won skills to defeat any attacker.
It is not enough to know how to kick and punch; be alert at all times. The eyes must look forward, neither up nor down, with the spirit aware of its surroundings.
Do not look to fight, but don’t avoid it either.
