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

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

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

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

The essence of warrior traits are demonstrated by : integrity with self, and honesty with others

A Martial Artist may become A professional fighter but not every Fighter is capable of becoming A martial artist. Martial Arts are about restoration of physical and spiritual balance and fluidity; they are about observing restraints and 'setting example'. Every practice session is A reminder of the play of opposites (yin and yang), . . . .
