well i mean definitely in the beginning , i had no intention of what so ever that what i was practising and
what I'm still practising now would lead to this to begin with but martial arts has a
very very deep meaning. As far as my life is censored because as an actor, as a martial
artist, as a human being all these i have learned from martial arts. All type of knowledge
ultimately means self knowledge so therefore there coming into and asking me to teach them
not so much of how to defend themselves or how to do somebody, rather they want to express
themselves through some movement be it anger, be it determination, or what so ever. Don't
think! Feel! It is like a finger pointing away to the moon don't concentrate on the
finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory. When i look around. I always learn
something. that is to be always yourself. and to express yourself, have faith in yourself,
do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it. Ultimately martial arts
means honestly expressing yourself. Now it is very difficult to do. Mean it is easy for
me to put on a show, and be cocky and be flooded with a cocky feeling. And then feel like pretty
cool and all that or i can make all kind of phoney things, you see what i mean? blinded
by it or i can show you really fancy movements. But to express oneself honestly, not lying
to one self. And to express myself honestly. Now that, my friend, is very hard to do and
you have to train, you have to keep your reflexes so then when you want it, its there! when
you want to move your moving and when you move you are determined to move, not taking
one inch , not anything less than that, if i want to punch. Im gonna do it man and I'm
gonna do it you see. So that is the type of thing you have to train yourself into it to
become one with the. Under the sky under the heaven man, there is but one family. It just
so happens that people are different. You should look upon oneself as an actor man,
i mean you will be very pleased if somebody say "hey man you are a super actor". It is
much better than you know, super star. "you got to admit you are a super star, if your
gonna give me the truth". I am honestly saying this. Yes. Have been very successful, okay.
I think the word "star" is i mean i do not look upon myself as a star. I really don't,
I mean believe me man when i say it. When you are talking about fighting . As it is.
With no rules. Well baby you better train every part of your body. And when you do punch
, and I'm gonna lean forward a little bit hoping not to break any camera angle. I mean
you got to put your whole fist in to it and snap it! And get all the energy and make this
into a weapon. I said empty your mind. Be formless. Shapeless. Like water. When you
put water into a cup, It becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle it becomes the
bottle. You put it in a tea pot, it becomes the tea pot. Now water can flow, or it can
crash. Be water my friend.
You know what i want to think of myself? As a human being.
