Funakoshi Gichin

"The ultimate aim of Karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of the character of its participants."

"When you look at life think in terms of karate. But remember that karate is not only karate -- it is life"

"Just as it is the clear mirror that reflects without distortion, or the quiet valley that echoes a sound, so must one who would study Karate-Do purge himself of selfish and evil thoughts, for only with a clear mind and conscience can he understand that which he receives."

Funakoshi Gichin (1868-1957)
