An ounce of logic can be worth more than a ton of tradition that has become obsolete through the weathering of time.

Traditionalists often study what is taught, not what there is to create.

Knowledge does not grow like a tree where you dig a hole, plant your feet, cover them with dirt, and pour water on them daily. Knowledge grows with time, work, and dedicated effort. It cannot come by any other means.

The man who is secure within himself has no need to prove anything with force, so he can walk away from a fight with dignity and pride. He is the true martial artist--a man so strong inside that he has no need to demonstrate his power.

The humble man makes room for progress; the proud man believes he is already there.

There are no pure styles of karate. Purity comes only when pure knuckles meet pure flesh, no matter who delivers or receives.

Gain confidence and you banish fear.
