The Hand (Kara-Te) is the cutting edge of the Mind

Karate is action, survival, living; hesitation is paralysis, reaction, mortality

A karate practitioner should possess two things : wicked hands, and Buddha's heart

The purpose of Karate is to guide you out of trouble by any means necessary, both in actual combat and in life

Karate is not about techniques and their execution, but about boldness, integrity and fight for justice and common good

The warrior guided by the spirit serves humanity, the warrior without, serves the ego
