It is simply a martial art in which the ultimate purpose is not to seek to win but to work towards perfection of character by the accumulation of experience through training. It is also a form of self defence, using all parts of the body, which by tough and systematic training become effective and powerful weapons.
True traditional karate practice is to train the body and spirit, to respect one’s training partner it should be practised with all one’s heart & energy and with humility.
“He who conquers himself is the mightiest warrior’.
