The message is that as a teacher, it's important to help your students grow and become better than you. Some teachers struggle with this because of their ego, but striving to make your students better than you not only preserve your legacy but also builds up the other person. There's always something to learn from everyone, and as a teacher, it's your job to facilitate growth.

I'd rather die fighting than I die on my knees. You know, that's just me. You know, I'm like, why am I going to be on the ground so you can just shoot me in the head? No, you're going to have to work for it. Like I said, how we start fighting. Yeah. I'm not going to give it to you. You know, it's not something that's going to be given to me. It's something I have to take. And so you're going to have to take that frame. You have to take my life while I'm fighting, not because I'm going to be on my knees and just please don't shoot me. Now, if I know you're going to try to shoot me, then fine. You're going to rob me and say, take the money and go, fine. I'll let you take it. But if you're out to kill me now, I'd rather fight to die than to just like beg and live, you know, to live and die. - Sifu Phu

In this video, Sifu Phu talks about the most common mistake when a person tries to do a lock and takedown combo. Here are some more common locks and takedown mistakes in martial arts: Overcommitting: One of the most common mistakes in locks and takedowns is over-committing. This means putting too much force or pressure on the opponent, which can cause them to resist or counter the technique. Poor positioning: Locks and takedowns require proper positioning and leverage to be effective. If the practitioner is not in the right position, the technique may not work or may be easily countered by the opponent. Lack of control: Locks and takedowns require precise control over the opponent's body. If the practitioner does not have proper control, the opponent may be able to escape or counter the technique. Telegraphing: Telegraphing is when the practitioner gives away their intentions or movements before executing the technique. This can give the opponent time to prepare and defend against the technique. Improper application: Locks and takedowns require proper application of force and pressure to be effective. If the practitioner does not apply the technique correctly, it may not work or may cause unnecessary injury to the opponent. Failure to adapt: Martial arts techniques require flexibility and adaptation to be effective. If the practitioner is not able to adapt to the opponent's movements or reactions, the technique may not work or may be easily countered. By being aware of these common mistakes, martial artists can work to improve their technique and avoid making these errors in locks and takedowns.
