“Turning back the way she'd been heading, she scanned the surrounding area, her gaze halting on a sweet little baby deer moving toward her on wobbly legs. "Ohhh," she almost moaned, enchanted at the sight. It was obviously very young, and not yet used to walking, or perhaps not strong enough.

"Oh, ye sweet thing," Claray cooed when it made its way directly to her and into her skirts.”

“A black belt is nothing more than a belt, a piece of cloth. Your ultimate goal should not be to get your black belt. Your ultimate goal should be to be a black belt. Being a black belt is a state of mind, a way of life.”

“Someone said to me the other day, 'you speak of peace because you are afraid to fight'. I smiled and replied, you are absolutely right, I am terrified of fighting, you know why, because if I raise my hands at someone, there'll be no trace of them left.

“Sonnet of Martial Arts The secret to Martial Arts, Is not style but training. Pick any form that appeals to you, And train regularly without failing. Practice a hundred moves five times, It is of no use whatsoever. But practice one move every day, And it'll be your lifetime protector. But before all that ask yourself, Why do you wanna be a martial artist? Is it to nourish an able mind and body, Or to be yet another fitness narcissist? Trash all your arrogance before training. A martial artist is to be gentle and caring.”
