• A dojo [pracice hall] is a miniature cosmos where we make contact with ourselves - our fears, anxieties, reactions, and habits. It is an arena of confined conflict where we confront an opponent who is not an opponent but rather a partner engaged in helping us understand ourselves more fully.

• A martial arts practice hall, a dojo, is a place you go to practice being the best you can be. But the true combat in a dojo is not between one person and another as most people believe it to be. The true combat in a martial arts practice hall is between the people within ourselves.

• People often say, 'Ah, ultimate fighting is so violent,' but it's rooted in martial arts. Martial arts incarnate respect. You can't walk into a dojo and say to your sensei, 'Hey, salut tabarnac!' After every one of my fights I go and shake the hand of my opponent. I don't need to hate the other fighter to fight him well. It's a sport.

• La gente estudia artes marciales por muchas razones, a veces todas las razones equivocadas. Por ejemplo, he tenido alumnos potenciales que han venido a mi dojo con una actitud beligerante y chulesca. Cuando les pregunto por qué quieren estudiar mi arte, su respuesta me ha indicado que su objetivo es aprender a luchar, que es la antítesis de la filosofía que espero inculcarles: quiero que sepan defenderse si es necesario, pero que eviten luchar siempre que sea posible porque no tendrán nada que demostrar luchando.
