My Master said,
“I can teach you”.

But the knowledge of strength comes from your heart

The martial art lives through you,
Not the other way round.

Your head must be cool and clear like a mountain lake.

Your hearth not as hot as molten steel

This is the way to mastery.

To learn to fight, not to have to fight anymore and to forget everything.

Because if simplicity and clarity are the first steps of nature,

They are the last step in the art.

Only he/she who swims against the stream will reach the source,

And also, if your spirit is free from thoughts and emotions,
Not even a ferocious tiger can drive his paws into it.

Veeper,
Dedicated to "You"
