Sport is for the young – Karate is for everyone.

Always return to basics.

There is always someone stronger, faster, smarter than us.

Do not confuse humbleness with weakness.

Strive for perfection in both character and technique – it may never be achieved but it is a good goal to strive for.

The higher you rise, the further you can fall – always keep your feet on the ground.

Never forget you were once a beginner.

Spirit and technique are one.

The way to success has no short cuts.

Postures are for the beginners, later they are natural positions.
