“The heart of our karate is real fighting.There can be no proof without real fighting. Without proof there is no trust. Without trust there is no respect. This is a definition in the world of martial arts” – Sosai-Oyama
“Karate is not a game. It is not a sport. It is not even a system of self-defense. Karate is half physical exercise and half spiritual. The karateist who has given the necessary years of exercise and meditation is a tranquil person. He is unafraid. He can even be calm in a burning building”
“I realized that perseverence and step-by-step progress are the only ways to reach a goal along a chosen path.”
“One becomes a beginner after 1000 days of training. One becomes a master after 10,000 days of practice”
“If you have confidence in your own words, aspirations, thoughts, and actions and do your very best, you will have no need to regret the outcome of what you do. Fear and trembling are lot of the person who, while stinting effort, hopes that everything will come out precisely as he wants” – Sosai-Oyama
