The correct understanding of Karate and its proper use is Karate-do. One who truly trains in this do [way] and actually understands Karate-do is never easily drawn into a fight.

Since karate is a martial art, you must practice with the utmost seriousness from the very beginning.

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

Always be ready to release your mind.

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

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.

To search for the old is to understand the new.
