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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Always remember that the true meaning of Budo is that soft overcomes hard, small overcomes large.
