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.

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

One becomes a beginner after 1000 days of training. One becomes a master after 10,000 days of practice.

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

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.

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

Although it is important to study and train for skill in techniques, for the man who wishes to truly accomplish the way of budo, it is important to makehis whole life in training and therefore not aiming for skill and strength alone, but also for spiritual attainment.
