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.

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

Karate begins and ends with courtesy.

The ultimate aim of Karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of the character of its participants.

When two tigers fight, one is certain to be maimed, and one to die.

Always be ready to release your mind.

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.
