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.

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.

The «way», who will pass it on straight and well?

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.

No matter how you may excel in the art of Karate, and in your scholastic endeavors, nothing is more important than your behavior and your humanity as observed in daily life.

When you look at life think in terms of karate. But remember that karate is not only karate -- it is life.

Inner mental technique is more important than the physical one.
