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.

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

When you leave your home, think that you have numerous opponents waiting for you (it is your behavior that invites trouble from them).

It is important that karate can be practiced by the young and old, men and women alike. That is, since there is no need for a special training place, equipment, or an opponent, a flexibility in training is provided such that the physically and spiritually weak individual can develop his body and mind so gradually and naturally that he himself may not even realize his own great progress.

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

Karate-do begins with courtesy and ends with rei.

First know yourself, then know others.
