Karate is like boiling water, if you do not heat it constantly, it will cool.

Try to do exactly as you are taught without complaining or quibbling.

In the past, it was expected that about three years were required to learn a single kata, and usually even an expert of considerable skill would only know three, or at most five, kata.

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

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

Don't pretend to be a great master and don't try to show off your strength.

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