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

Inner mental technique is more important than the physical one.

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.

Spirit first, technique second.

It is important that karate can be practiced by the young and old, men and women alike.

When there are no avenues of escape or one is caught even before any attempt to escape can be made, then for the first time the use of self-defense techniques should be considered. Even at times like these, do not show any intention of attacking, but first let the attacker become careless. At that time attack him concentrating one's whole strength in one blow to a vital point and in the moment of surprise, escape and seek shelter and help.

Beginners must master low stance and posture, natural body positions are for the advanced.
