One Quote from JJM

A technique has no emotion. It has no fear. It has no anxiety. It's a technique.

 

When you train or compete against someone, it’s not person versus person, low

rank against high rank, or reputation versus reputation. It is a challenge to

see who has the better technique.

 

This removes the emotion and anxiety from the equation of training or

competition. It is NOT you that’s competing. It is your technique competing

against your opponent’s technique.
