The correct understanding of Karate and its proper use is Karate-do. One who truly trains in this do [way] and actually understands Karate-do is never easily drawn into a fight.

The ultimate aim of Karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of the character of its participants.

What you have been taught by listening to others' words you will forget very quickly; what you have learned with your whole body you will remember for the rest of your life.

True karate is this: that in daily life one's mind and body be trained and developed in a spirit of humility, and that in critical times, one be devoted utterly to the cause of justice.

Seek perfection of character. Be faithful. Endeavor. Respect others. Refrain from violent behaviour.

Once a kata has been learned, it must be practised repeatedly until it can be applied in an emergency, for knowledge of just the sequence of a kata in karate is useless.

In battle, do not think that you have to win. Think rather that you do not have to lose.

No matter how you may excel in the art of Karate, and in your scholastic endeavors, nothing is more important than your behavior and your humanity as observed in daily life.

Spirit first, technique second.

Only through training will a person learn his own weaknesses... He who is aware of his weaknesses will remain master of himself in any situation.

Beginners must master low stance and posture, natural body positions are for the advanced.

Every new day is a divine order.
