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.

Only through training will a person learn his own weaknesses... He who is aware of his weaknesses will remain master of himself in any situation.

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.

Success, cannot be attained alone. Any person's time and power is limited. A wise leader enlists others in working toward organizational goals.

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.

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.

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