"In sparring, a Karateist should concentrate his heart, mind and soul into the art. Concentration plays an extremely important part in sparring. It is so important that the slightest distortion in thinking can cause serious injury to the opponent or yourself. Therefore sparring should be done with the utmost seriousness."

“Live loyally today
-- grow --
and tomorrow will attend to itself.
The quickest way for a tadpole to become a frog
is to live loyally each moment
as a tadpole.”

SONG OF PUSH HANDS
Be conscientious in Peng, Lu, Chi, and An.
Upper and lower coordinate,
and the opponent finds it difficult to penetrate.
Let the opponent attack with great force;
use four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds.
Attract to emptiness and discharge;
Chan, Lien, T'ieh, Sui,
attach without losing the attachment.
