Loyalty is the root of trust. You should be loyal to your teacher and to your friends, and they should also be loyal to you.

Loyalty lets mutual trust grow. In the Chinese martial arts, it is espesially crucial that there be loyalty between you and your master.

This loyalty is built upon a foundation of obedience to your master. Obedience is the prerequisite for learning. If you sincerely desire to learn, you should get rid of your dignity.

You must bow to your teacher both mentally and spiritually. Only this will open the gates of trust

A teacher will not teach someone who is always concerned about his own dignity. Remember, in front of your teacher, you do not have dignity.
