When you are learning a new technique, practice it wholeheartedly until you truly understand it.

First know yourself, then know others.

Once a kata has been learned, it must be practised repeatedly until it can be applied in an emergency, for knowledge of just the sequence of a kata in karate is useless.

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

It is important that karate can be practiced by the young and old, men and women alike. That is, since there is no need for a special training place, equipment, or an opponent, a flexibility in training is provided such that the physically and spiritually weak individual can develop his body and mind so gradually and naturally that he himself may not even realize his own great progress.

When you leave your home, think that you have numerous opponents waiting for you (it is your behavior that invites trouble from them).

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