First know yourself, then know others.

Try to do exactly as you are taught without complaining or quibbling.

Seek perfection of character. Be faithful. Endeavor. Respect others. Refrain from violent behaviour.

One whose spirit and mental strength have been strengthened by sparring with a never-say-die attitude should find no challenge too great to handle. One who has undergone long years of physical pain and mental agony to learn one punch, one kick, should be able to face any task, no matter how difficult, and carry it through to the end. A person like this can truly be said to have learned karate.

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

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

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