Karate begins and ends with respect and courtesy

There is no first attack in karate

Karate supports righteousness

Know yourself first, then others

The art of the mind is more important than the technique

Free your mind

Trouble is born of negligence (and ignorance)

Karate is not just for the dojo

The training of karate takes a lifetime

Karate is like hot water, it cools down if you do not keep heating it

Do not think of winning, rather think of not losing

Transform yourself according to your opponent

The outcome of the fight depends upon the manoeuvre

Imagine one's arms and legs as swords

Once you leave home there are a million enemies

Postures are for the beginner, later they are natural positions

Perform the Kata correctly, the real fight is another matter

Do not forget to control the power and speed of a technique

Always be good at the application of all you learn

Apply the way of Karate to all things. Therin lies it's beauty
