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

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.

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.

A man who understands decorum and the courtesies is a great treasure; I hope to train and send into society as many such men as I can.

Behind each triumph are new peaks to be conquered.

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

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.
