1.) You are not Superman.
2.) If it's stupid but works, it's not stupid.
3.) When in doubt, Attack!
4.) If your attack is going really well, then it's a setup.
5.) No plan survives the first contact intact..
6.) The important things are always simple.
7.) The easy way is usually wrong.
8.) If your opponent is within range, SO ARE YOU.
9.) Anything you do can get you hurt, including doing nothing.
10.) Professional fighters are predictable, but the world is full of amateurs.
11.) If you are moving forward at unbelievable speed, you're probably out of your bubble.
12.) IF YOU DIE ON THE MAT, WE SPLIT UP YOUR GEAR.
