Initiation to Martial Arts
Daniel Rabinovich: Welcome Western man. Here you will learn that Martial Arts are part of a philosophy.
Jorge Maronna: When a stronger enemy attacks you, use the power of your shout this way: Help!
Carlos López Puccio: A fighter must take care of their diet. In the Monastery's dining hall, you can see a sign that says: Oh stranger, savor your bowl of rice soup, then delight yourself with a plate of cooked rice and take a bite of rice seasoned with bitter herbs. We also have chorizo sandwiches.
Chorus: Uke, Uke. Uke, Uke.
Carlos Núñez Cortés: When facing a stronger fighter, you must move faster than him. And if he catches you, may God help you.
Chorus: Uh, how scary.
Jorge Maronna: You must have moderation in your habits. As the poet said: Last night on the moon I clearly saw a dragon with feathers drawn. I must drink less.
Carlos Núñez Cortés: When facing a stronger fighter, defensive tactics are not enough, you must use offensive tactics. Confront him and shout: Faggot!
Marcos Mundstock: The path to wisdom is long. You will find strength in Kyoto. You will find skill in Kuwen. But peace... is found in Bolivia.
Carlos López Puccio: If someone who claims to be your best friend stabs you in the back, you must distrust their friendship.
Carlos Núñez Cortés: Martial arts are part of a philosophy.
Daniel Rabinovich: They should not be considered a weapon.
Carlos López Puccio: And that's why, remember:
Chorus: There's nothing like a good revolver.
