Remember that you must always have a deep regard for courtesy, and you must be respectful and obedient toward your seniors.

To search for the old is to understand the new.

True karate is this: that in daily life one's mind and body be trained and developed in a spirit of humility, and that in critical times, one be devoted utterly to the cause of justice.

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

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.

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

When there are no avenues of escape or one is caught even before any attempt to escape can be made, then for the first time the use of self-defense techniques should be considered. Even at times like these, do not show any intention of attacking, but first let the attacker become careless. At that time attack him concentrating one's whole strength in one blow to a vital point and in the moment of surprise, escape and seek shelter and help.
