" In training do not expect good results in a short time. Karate training may extend
over one's entire life, ... In the study of any subject, little is to be gained from
haphazard training, and thus, particularly in a martial art such as karate, steady,
unremitting training is required. ... Train systematically, without becoming
impatient... Develop gradually, advancing steadily, one step at a time... "
- Gichin Funakoshi
"The ultimate aim of karate lies not in victory nor in defeat but in the perfection
of the character of its participants".
- Gichin Funakoshi
" The aim of training reflects the precept expressed by the words - although the
doorway is small, go deeply inward... Once a kata has been learned, it must be
practiced repeatedly until it can be applied in an emergency, for knowledge of just
the sequence of a form in karate is useless. "
- Gichin Funakoshi
