Quote:
“There are many books available on the art of karate-dō. Nearly all of them deal with the performance of the kata (practice patterns) of karate, or with kumite (sport sparring) and tournament techniques, or the fundamentals of punching, kicking, and blocking. However, true karate is about much more than powerful and effective techniques. It goes far beyond the rigors and discipline of intense training. The essence of karate is the continual refinement of one’s inner character, developing balance and harmony in life, and playing a beneficial role in the fabric of society.”
Quote:
“Making a real, permanent, and uplifting change in the lives of other people brings true happiness—the highest possible life condition. Yet true happiness cannot be achieved as a goal in its own right. It is simply a by-product of True Understanding.”
Quote:
“A sensei can train you to achieve all that you can. But only a master can guide you to become all that you should!”... “Master your self: conquer every area of your life in which you are self-ish and maximize those in which you are self-less.” |
