Karate-do begins with courtesy and ends with rei.

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.

Only a true weakling is capable of true courage.

Put Karate into your everyday living, that is how you will see true beauty.

You must be deadly serious in training. When I say that, I do not mean that you should be reasonably diligent or moderately in earnest. I mean that your opponent must always be present in your mind, whether you sit or stand or walk or raise your arms.

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.

Students of any art, including Karate-do must never forget the cultivation of the mind and the body.
