Human beings are capable of virtually limitless degradation; they are also capable of virtually limitless improvement and achievement. Success depends on goals and on diligence in pursuing them.

As far as possible, I want nothing more than to don my training gi and teach Karate.

In the martial arts, introspection begets wisdom. Always see contemplation on your actions as an opportunity to improve.

If you do not overcome your tendency to give up easily, your life leads to nothing.

Karate is Budo and if Budo is removed from Karate it is nothing more than sport karate, show karate, or even fashion karate-the idea of training merely to be fashionable.

The most important are the eyes. In a fight if you look down out of fear you'll certainly be defeated

Until the day I die, I never want to be separated from my dogi; I never want to cease my training efforts in the dojo.
