If someone asked me what a human being ought to devote the maximum of his life to, I would answer: training. Train more than you sleep.

Studying the martial Way is like climbing a cliff: keep going forward without rest. Resting is not permissible because it causes recessions to old adages of achievement. Persevering day in, day out improves techniques, but resting one day causes lapses. This must be prevented.

Power is no more than a part, no more than the tip of the iceberg of limitless profundity and sublimate of Karate.

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.

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

A human life gains lustre and strength only when it is polished and tempered.

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.
