Best martial quotes ever

Postby Peacedog on Fri Dec 30, 2016 4:21 pm

Recently I was thinking about my friend "J" who used to carry a replica LeMat Cavalry pistol.

You can find a picture of the LeMat here: http://www.taylorsfirearms.com/hand-gun ... valry.html

It is literally a hand cannon. It holds nine .44 caliber balls and the under barrel holds a 20 gauge shotgun shell. It is a single action black powder pistol.

"J" is about 6' 6" tall (roughly 2 meters) and weights a good 335 pounds (roughly 150 kilos).

I once asked him why he carried a LeMat. I mean it is 1860s technology we are talking about here.

He replied, "I like the idea of setting someone on fire when I shoot them."

Best martial quote ever.

So what are the best martial quotes you all have ever heard?

Not an exact quote, but it goes like this:
"You can listen to your brain or your body, but if you listen to your brain you're screwed".

This is in the context of training where you have a preconceive notion of how you should train vs listening to what your body is telling you.

'Move, stupid!"

-Peter Raslston
It is necessary to drink alcohol and pursue other fun human activities. The art (i.e. karate) of someone who is too serious has no "flavour."

“Precision beats power and timing beats speed” (after beating Aldo) — Conor McGregor

“Fighting is a game of timing, tactics and bluff.” — Bruce Lee

“It comes down to two things: who's the smarter fighter and who has the best timing.” — Floyd Mayweather Jr.

“You have to realize that most of these guys get in there and fight on heart. I fight with smarts. There is no fighter that is smarter than me. Most of these fighters are ABC, 1-2-3. I am like 4-5-6 levels above them; that's why I'm able to beat them.” — Floyd Mayweather Jr.

“He can have heart, he can hit harder and he can be stronger, but there’s no fighter smarter than me.” — Floyd Mayweather Jr.

“You don’t know sh*t about boxing.” — Roger Mayweather :D
