“I do not need the 1000 students or the 1000 schools. All I need, is the 1 loyal student, who has trained long and hard, and has completely mastered this system, to carry this system into the coming centuries. There is no compromise.”
“The more thorough ones knowledge becomes, the more diligently one practices, will one day allow one, to cross the threshold, where fear will be held in check, by his trust in the system and confidence in his training.”
Floro V. Villabrille
