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

For one thing, Judo in reality is not a mere sport or game. I regard it as a principle of life, art and science. In fact, it is a means for personal cultural attainment.

The purpose of the study of judo is to perfect yourself and to contribute to society.

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

Walk a single path, becoming neither cocky with victory nor broken with defeat, without forgetting caution when all is quiet or becoming frightened when danger threatens.

Face your fear, empty yourself, trust your own voice, let go of control, have faith in outcomes, connect with a larger purpose, derive meaning from the struggle.

Apply just the right amount of force — never too much, never too little.
