It is important that karate can be practiced by the young and old, men and women alike.

Seek perfection of character. Be faithful. Endeavor. Respect others. Refrain from violent behaviour.

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.

One of the most striking features of karate is that it may be engaged in by anybody, young or old, strong or weak, male or female.

Only a true weakling is capable of true courage.
