Martial Arts Philosophy
"The ultimate aim of Karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of the character of its participants." ~ Gichin Funakoshi
“I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times" - Bruce Lee
A person who may brag or showoff will never earn true respect, although he/she may be very capable. This type of behaviour dishonours both the individual and the art.
Try to see yourself as you truly are and try to adopt what is meritorious in the work of others: Each of us has good qualities and bad. The wise person seeks to equal or excel in the good he/she sees in others and avoids the bad.
Abide by the rules and ethics in your daily life whether in public or private: The ultimate aim of the art of Karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of the character of its participants.
Karate aims at perfection of mind as well as body, however, expressions that praise only physical skill, bravery, and fighting capability should never be used in connection with it.
