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

First know yourself, then know others.

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.

A student well versed in even one technique will naturally see corresponding points in other techniques. A upper level punch, a lower punch, a front punch and a reverse punch are all essentially the same. Looking over thirty-odd kata, he should be able to see that they are essentially variations on just a handful.

Karate is a defensive art from beginning to end.

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

Remember that you must always have a deep regard for courtesy, and you must be respectful and obedient toward your seniors.
