In karate, hitting, thrusting, and kicking are not the only methods, throwing techniques and pressure against joints are included … all these techniques should be studied referring to basic kata

To practice kata is not to memorize an order. Find the katas that work for you, understand them, digest them & stick with them for life.

Spirit first, technique second.

One whose spirit and mental strength have been strengthened by sparring with a never-say-die attitude should find no challenge too great to handle. One who has undergone long years of physical pain and mental agony to learn one punch, one kick, should be able to face any task, no matter how difficult, and carry it through to the end. A person like this can truly be said to have learned karate.

Since karate is a martial art, you must practice with the utmost seriousness from the very beginning.

You must ignore the bad and adopt the good.

Remember that you must always have a deep regard for courtesy, and you must be respectful and obedient toward your seniors.
