Breathing can and should bring you into a ready-to-act condition instantly.

To any situation the reaction may be different. That's why it's useless - in a way - to memorize patterns, because the possibilities in life are endless, and you cannot be prepared for every single thing. Therefore it's better to be able to move in a natural way, and not even physically but intuitively.

Natural movement is the shortest way to an effective result. Like the way the water runs, it always finds the right way.

Every day that you live without proper breathing is another little step of submitting to stress and deterioration of your health.

The key quality that anyone has to develop - a regular person as well as a warrior - is humility. If you don't try to develop humility, what you end up developing is pride, and that's destructive it destroys yourself and it destroys the world around you.
