The Ultimate Goal
OF KARATE TRAINING
"By daily, and through a systematic training of physical, mental, technical and moral learning, building and cultivating strong self-confidence, self-control, self-discipline and courtesy towards others becomes a reality. The development of these character traits becomes a strong foundation toward overcoming any hardship of daily living, such that the individual may pursue and achieve the goal of his life. This effort will contribute immensely towards a longer, healthier, more energetic and peaceful life, as well as learning one of the oldest and dynamic means of self-protection."
Kiyohisa Hirano Souke (1977)
