There are people who are excitable by nature and allow themselves to become angry for the most trivial of reasons. Judo can help such people learn to control themselves. Through training, they quickly realize that anger is a waste of energy, that it has only negative effects on the self and others.

The teaching of one virtuous person can influence many; that which has been learned well by one generation can be passed on to a hundred.

Judo should be free as art and science from any external influences, political, national, racial, and financial or any other organized interest. And all things connected with it should be directed to its ultimate object, the benefit of Humanity.

Before and after practicing Judo or engaging in a match, opponents bow to each other. Bowing is an expression of gratitude and respect. In effect, you are thanking your opponent for giving you the opportunity to improve your technique.

Judo helps us to understand that worry is a waste of energy.

Judo teaches us to look for the best possible course of action, whatever the individual circumstances.

Judo is the way to the most effective use of both physical and spiritual strength.
