Karate is a defensive art from beginning to end.

Always be ready to release your mind.

Karate-do strives internally to train the mind to develop a clear conscience, enabling one to face the world honestly, while externally developing strength to the point where one may overcome even ferocious wild animals. Mind and technique become one in true karate.

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

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

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

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.
