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.

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.

The most significant life is the one lived on the basis of a personal sense of justice and the desire to see justice realized everywhere.

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

If you do not overcome your tendency to give up easily, your life leads to nothing.

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

In the martial arts, introspection begets wisdom. Always see contemplation on your actions as an opportunity to improve.
