Come ye trials and challanges; come life's big waves, for I am ready?

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.

One living daily in the Way carries their head low and their eyes high; reserved in speech and possessing a kind heart, they steadfastly continue in their training efforts.

Come ye trials and challanges; come life's big waves, for I am ready?

Behind each triumph are new peaks to be conquered.

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.

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.
