Some wise words from Curtis Sensei to us a couple of years ago.
"The point of our training here, what I'm getting to, is to get real, to stop faking it."
"Because in a life and death situation, you don't have any time for fakery. You don't have any time for an illusion about who you are, or what's happening, or who they are, or what's happening with them."
"There's no amount of self-mastery, no amount of technical perfection will get you by, and save your life, or save the life of a loved one."
"I don't care if you spend your whole lifetime learning how to do different martial arts, and how to become adept in every one of them, it won't be worth squat, if, in the moment of life and death, you're confused about who you are."
"Your reaction, or your actions in all situations, are exactly as limited as your conception of who you are. Because you act from who you are, not who you imagine yourself to be."
"To be authentic, to be real, you must be free flowing, like water."
"If you want to have a mind that flows like water it can't very well be fixed in some place. It can't be definable."
This, for me, relates to the above post.
