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

1-2 out of every 100 students reach Black Belt and of those only 1 out of every 1,000 achieves his 2nd Dan

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

Reading good books implants good ideas in the mind, develops good aspirations, and leads to the cultivation of good friends.

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.

Courtesy should be apparent in all our actions and words and in all aspects of daily life. But be courtesy, I do not mean rigid, cold formality. Courtesy in the truest sense is selfless concern for the welfare and physical and mental comfort of the other person.
