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

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

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.

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.

Karate is Budo and if Budo is removed from Karate it is nothing more than sport karate, show karate, or even fashion karate-the idea of training merely to be fashionable.

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

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