“In karate, the most important thing is not the color of the belt but the quality of the person who wears it.”
“It is not the accumulation of things that brings happiness; it is living a life that is purposeful, disciplined, and honorable.”
“The ultimate aim of karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of the character of its participants.”.
