"Since karate is a martial art, you must practice with the utmost seriousness from the very beginning."
"Try to do exactly as you are taught without complaining or quibbling."
"When you are learning a new technique, practice it wholeheartedly until you truly understand it."
"Don't pretend to be a great master and don't try to show off your strength."
"Remember that you must always have a deep regard for courtesy and you must be respectful and obedient toward your seniors."
"You must ignore the bad and adopt the good."
"Think of everyday life as karate training."
Gichin Funakoshi
