No matter how you may excel in the art of Karate, and in your scholastic endeavors, nothing is more important than your behavior and your humanity as observed in daily life.

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

In karate, hitting, thrusting, and kicking are not the only methods, throwing techniques and pressure against joints are included … all these techniques should be studied referring to basic kata

Karate is like boiling water: without heat, it returns to it's tepid state

Spirit first, technique second.

The secret principle of martial arts is not vanquishing the attacker, but resolving to avoid an encounter before its occurrence. To become an object of an attack is an indication that there was an opening in one's guard, and the important thing is to be on guard at all times.

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.
