Favorite phrase of your Instructors?

[tallgeese]

There's probably a bunch that aren't making to my head. For now though:

"You can't get tired of the basics. You have to learn to love these movements. They have to become part of you jiu jitsu soul."

"Speed is earned"

[ashworth]

Practise doesn't make perfect, perfect practise makes perfect...

[Spartacus Maximus]

My favourite sayings are these two:

"Fight yourself"

"the mind follows the body and the body follows the mind"

[devil dog]

My Sensei's favorite expressions are; "I'm old and frail, whats your problem" and "Do it once more and it might get easier, if it doesn't keep trying it until it does" and "if you woke up and put your feet on the floor this morning you have nothing to complain about" and "no ones thrown dirt on you, so I assume your not dead, now get up and do it again" and "don't try - do"

It's like having Yoda for a teacher but maybe a slightly more sadistic version. You gotta love old guy logic though. LOL!

The problem is I hear myself uttering these same words and I get the same looks from my students as we gave him. I guess that makes me the old man now.
