Apply the way of karate to all things. Therein lies its beauty.

Any man will be able, after sufficient practice, to accomplish remarkable feats of strength, but he may go only so far and no farther. There is a limit to human physical strength that no one can exceed.

Karate is like boiling water, if you do not heat it constantly, it will cool.

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

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

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

Karate is a defensive art from beginning to end.
