Values and Ethics

SOKE KUN

Ichi zo ippo no mahiwa, tadachini sono seimeyni kararoka to nenrushi

Shinshi o motte, hiken o migaki, 

O’Toyei

Ichigeki  nigekio  ukuruto ie domo,

Kanji toshite,

Taizen jyakutare.

When every organ of our body is paralysed, when we are facing life or death we should polish our secret fists (karate skills) earnestly with all of our ambition. Even when we receive 1 or 2 attacks, we should remain as imperturbable as a master.
