To master Taekwondo is not for you to simply get something but to become different man of yourself. It is not accomplished adding something to yourself but found in what is left when you cut off yourself to erase all excrescence. And it is to break out yourself to the last part. Just as a sculptor cuts off a stone to find an artwork in it, and as he breaks an old bowls to make new one. Like this, to practice Taekwondo or to be able to do Taekwondo is not to make yourself able to perform a certain motion but to be the motion itself by yourself. This selfication, the change of yourself is the direction to which every learning advances. Otherwise, there can be no true learining.

This is commonly valid for every learning regardless of mathematics, foreign languages, history, philosophy or something else. Learning the logical thinking in mathematics we master how to abandon the various possibility of faulty thinking but only one way left through calculus. Learning foreign language it is also important to abandon many of your parts of saying this way or that way to change yourself to one way of good speaking . You can get little in truth if you just add to your knowledge something like historical facts or thinkers' thought in memory. Every process of learning is that of having only your necessary self left through gains and abandons, and that of changing yourself.

When you are a motion itself your whole will be naturally adapted to it so that you can do it without any unnecessary intention nor any prior motion. This natural motion is not such a thing as can be controled by thought when needed. It is rather what pops in a moment prior to all thoughts. Through numerous repetition and mastery a Taekwondo man changes himself to the motion itself. The whole process is both that of cutting himself off and also of breaking himself to nothing left. It is the process that he breaks himself deleting everything coagulated, and then, keep himself like water with no solidification following changes of nature. He can be the motion itself only after this process. When he can be a motion itself he can make the motion also with no thinking, and can control over his opponent erasing himself. Thus, the most proper distance will be found between him and his opponent and he can cope with everything with empty mind.

That it is like this to learn Taekwondo is common in its truth to all case that a man does something in the process of his life. A man gains many also losing many at once moment by moment, but there is nothing at all that he gains or loses in truth. And finally, there is no man who is the subject of gaining and losing. This fact produces faulty skepticisms about the world, however, there is nothing to be skeptical of either, but only something empty to be accepted.
