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

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

Only through training will a person learn his own weaknesses... He who is aware of his weaknesses will remain master of himself in any situation.

First know yourself, then know others.

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

The secret principle of martial arts is not vanquishing the attacker, but resolving to avoid an encounter before its occurrence. To become an object of an attack is an indication that there was an opening in one's guard, and the important thing is to be on guard at all times.

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