Karate is a technique that permits one to defend himself with his bare hands and fists without weapons.
When two tigers fight, one is certain to be maimed, and one to die.
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.
Karate is a defensive art from beginning to end.
First know yourself, then know others.
One of the most striking features of karate is that it may be engaged in by anybody, young or old, strong or weak, male or female.
