When two tigers fight, one is certain to be maimed, and one to die.

When you are learning a new technique, practice it wholeheartedly until you truly understand it.

Students of any art, including Karate-do must never forget the cultivation of the mind and the body.

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.

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.

Karate begins and ends with courtesy.

You may train for a long time, but if you merely move your hands and feet and jump up and down like a puppet, learning karate is not very different from learning a dance. You will never have reached the heart of the matter; you will have failed to grasp the quintessence of karate-do.
