Always a good reminder:
Kung fu is not something to do; it is something a person is. There should be no separation. When you (a student) misses a class without due reason, it is the same as not showing up for yourself — not just missing a class! It’s more than that! Show up for class; show up for yourself! Be something instead of do something! Grandmasters are often demanding — they are supposed to be. How can one develop discipline if one does not have enough of it to make class? It’s the Grandmaster’s place to say, “Hey, where have you been?” Otherwise, how is discipline handed down?
peace and blessings …
