There is no first strike in Karate.

Karate is like boiling water: without heat, it returns to it's tepid state

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

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.

In battle, do not think that you have to win. Think rather that you do not have to lose.

Karate is a technique that permits one to defend himself with his bare hands and fists without weapons.

The spirit of karate practice and the elements of training are applicable to each and every aspect of our daily lives.
