1-2 out of every 100 students reach Black Belt and of those only 1 out of every 1,000 achieves his 2nd Dan

I have not permitted myself to be ignorant of any martial art that exists. Why? Such ignorance is a disgrace to someone who follows the path of the martial arts.

Subjecting yourself to vigourous training is more for the sake of forging a resolute spirit that can vanquish the self than it is for developing a strong body.

The path of Martial Arts begins and ends with courtesy. So be genuinely polite on every occasion.

A human life gains lustre and strength only when it is polished and tempered.

My Way is the Way of Karate, which is also the Way of humanity, and which is consequently related to the Way of Heaven.

No matter how strong the rival, the just will always win.
