Quotations
Uncle Ben “With great power comes great responsiblity.”
Spiderman – Once you have a punch which
can take a life, great responbility falls upon you when to use
it.
Conan's Father “No one in this world can you trust. Not men, not
women, not beasts. [Points to sword.] But this... this you can
trust.” Conan the Barbarian –
The punch once developed will always be there when you need
it. Unlike a gun, knife, or mace your punch is
part of you.
Obi-Wan Kenobi “Master Yoda says I should be
mindful of the future.”
Qui-Gon Jinn “But not at the expense of the present.”
Episode I – Wing Chun philosophy, here and now is what
counts the most. You’re
aware of things that need to be done in the future, however we
concentrate on the present the most.
Ian
Malcolm “I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power
that you're using here: it didn't require any discipline to
attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next
step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you
don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the
shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you
could and before you even knew what you had you patented it
and packaged it and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now
you're selling it, you want to sell it!
It’s not a question if you could, but whether or not
you should.” Jurassic Park – Wing Chun skill doesn’t give you the right to
fight, but the ability to choose if the situation presents
itself. Just
coz you can doesn’t mean you need to.
Morpheus “I'm trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show
you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it.”
Matrix – The only one who can make your wing chun good in the end, is you.
Paris, “Then I'll die
fighting.”
Hector, “Oh, and that's sounds heroic to you doesn't it? To
die fighting. Tell me little brother, have you ever killed a
man?”
Paris, “No.”
Hector, “Ever seen a man die in combat?
Paris, No.
Hector, “I've killed men and I've heard them dying and I've
watched them dying and there's nothing glorious about it,
nothing poetic. You say you're willing to die for love but you
know nothing about dying and you know nothing about love! Troy
– In fighting you decide to fight or run, but in the beginning
everyone feels the need to be a hero and show it off.
Be cautious of such ego and learn to control it.
Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi “Luke,
you're going to find that many of the truths we cling to
depend greatly on our own point of view.” Return of the Jedi
– More to do with wing chun philosophy, right or wrong is all based on
a certain point of view.

Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi “Luke,
you're going to find that many of the truths we cling to
depend greatly on our own point of view.” Return of the Jedi
– Wing Chun allows you to detach to be able to see both sides fairly,
after that you can make a decision.
Jack
Quinn “Offense gets the glory...”
Yas “...But
defense wins the game.” Double Team – A lousy movie, but the line is worthy to be stated.
Wing Chun defense is what separates us from all other
martial arts.
Yoda “Luke, do not underestimate the powers of the Emperor, or
suffer your father's fate you will.” Return of the Jedi –
Clean your karma, for the temptation to use what you’ve learned
for the wrong reasons are strong.
Messenger Boy, “They say you
can't be killed.”
Achilles, “Well, I wouldn't be bothering with the shield
then, would I?” Troy – Chi
sao gives you a sense of security, but don’t be fooled
regardless of how good your skill is, you
still can be hit. Believe
in your skill, don’t be full of yourself.
Hector, “Yesterday the Greeks
underestimated us. We should not return the favor.” Troy – Regardless of who you fight, never fall under
the spell that just because of size, sex, or age should you
ever take your opponent for granted.
Morpheus “He's beginning to believe.” Matrix – Everything you’ve learned will only work, if you believe in the
person whose doing it.
Yoda, “Control, control. You
must learn control.” –
This is what seperates Wing Chun from all the arts, control of
yourself first, then you can control others.
Gandalf “One stage of the journey is over, another begins” –
The SLT trials are finally over, another one awaits you in Chum Kiu
trials. Basically,
there is a consistent loop in all things that we do.
