Wing Chun Quotes

One great cause of failure is a lack of concentration and attitude.

- Lucas Castrounis

Traditionally, when someone committed himself/herself to martial arts, he/she prepared himself/herself for a very long process. That was the first characteristic a master looked for in an individual before accepting him/her as his/her student. Today, people are not as patient. They want everything given to them fast because they are "paying" for it. With this kind of attitude, masters of martial arts dish out either diluted or pure garbage to this type of customers.
