Each of us has his cowardice. Each of us is afraid to lose, afraid to die. But hanging back is the way to remain a coward for life. The Way to find courage is to seek it on the field of conflict. And the sure way to victory is willingness to risk one's own life.

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 heart of our karate is real fighting.There can be no proof without real fighting. Without proof there is no trust. Without trust there is no respect. This is a definition in the world of martial arts.

The fastest way to attain courage is to follow the chosen Way and be willing to abandon life itself for the sake of justice.

Sice Karate exists for cultivating the spirit and training the body, it must be a moral way surpassing mere techniques.

I realized that perseverence and step-by-step progress are the only ways to reach a goal along a chosen path.
