Master Yu believes that studying the martial Arts is not simply about learning how to fight- it is about a way of life. Of course he believes when one practices martial arts, proficiency as a fighter must be a result. but he emphasizes that that fighting is only part of the equation. For Master Yu, the ultimate goal of the martial arts is to understand our selves as human beings, and develop sensibilities about what it is about a daily effort toward humanity, concept and philosophy of living. "On the most basic level, martial arts is for survival. We must learn to protect ourselves. But on the highest level, martial arts can be the path to ultimate spiritual enlightenment. In between, the number of directions you can goal is unlimited." Master Yu isn't interested in each goal and accomplishment. Instead, He wants to be remembered for the great goal of living his entire life as a consummate martial artist , always growing. "Every person has a personal empire, a castle which he builds from the day he is born. If you stop growing and learning. you automatically start tearing down your castle, you go down. Either you are improving, or you are backing up, there is no in-between. Until I die, I will be searching for new directions. That is what the martial arts is about." Master Yu takes pride in being an innovator, using fighting as medium in which he can, as an artist, express himself.
