The difficulty of preserving tradition. ??�
.
“It is very difficult to keep tradition, not only in karate do, but also in other martial arts. In order to do so, both teachers and students seriously need to do their best. Students need to have an understanding of karate while enjoying it. Of course, teachers have to pass on all their knowledge and technique to their students. I think this is very important.”
