A black belt is a white belt who never gave up
Slow to learn, slow to forget
The person who knows "how" will always be the student, but the person who knows "why" will continue to be the instructor
To hear is to doubt, to see is to be deceived, but to feel is to beleive
Train knowing that the right thoughts and the right efforts inevitably bring about the right results.
There are no pure styles of karate. Purity comes only when pure knuckles meet pure flesh
In every offense there is a defence, and in every defence there is an offense
Guts are the anaesthesia that deaden the pain of fear
Sophistication is no more that simplicity compounded
Fear no man, but respect all
Train hard, train regularly, train intelligently and make no excuses
He who hesitates, meditates in a horizontal position
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
Someone who aims at nothing is sure to hit it.
