My philosophy is that I try always to be true to myself and to others
... I can say that I fear nothing - not even death, and this I do not
say in a big-headed or conceited way. My meaning is that I always try
my best in everything I do, so I will be satisfied when I do die - I
think the reason that people fear death is because they want to do and
accomplish so many other things that are still undone . . . they always
want to do more.
Also, I truly believe that life continues after physical death - all life continues ... life is a
circle.
In the art of Karate, the basic forms and movements are practiced
without any opponent. By just imagining the opponent a Karateist can
fulfil every form practiced. It is very important therefore that while
practicing, the Karateist put his whole heart, soul and mind into the
form. Then the purpose of defeating an opponent becomes complete, for
all of these cannot be done at random. A person may study Karate for
years, but if he is only moving his hands and feet he will not be able
to understand the true meaning of Karate.
In sparring, a Karateist should concentrate his heart, mind and soul
into the art. Concentration plays an extremely important part in
sparring. It is so important that the slightest distortion in thinking
can cause serious injury to the opponent or yourself . Therefore
sparring should be done with the utmost seriousness.
Karate is a good teacher and builder of character. For a Karateist who
goes through the ups and downs of training, it will help him to control
himself in whatever else he does, and through patience he will be able
to build up his personality and create a harmonious character. But he
can only realize this within himself and gradually discover the real
spirit of Karate.
Karate, through its physical and
spiritual training and rigid principles, has taught me to control
myself. I am confident that in no matter what kind of situation I am
in, I would not carelessly use Karate to defend myself. One must always
be in a defensive attitude and avoid entanglements for Karate seeks no
advantage. In Karate you start with defense and end with defense."
