“Many of today’s practitioners are too timid in their training. They train with only the thought of being able to finish and not with the thought of progressing – pushing yourself to become better. You must train hard if you want to progress otherwise you are just a mediocre practitioner, and there are many of them.

If you wish to learn mediocre karate, go some place else and do not waste my time.
.
If a teacher teaches with his heart he can only expect the student to train with their heart. It is only right – then both the teacher and the student progress. The student motivates the teacher and the teacher teaches the student the correct attitude and spirit of the Okinawan martial arts. This is good training – the student and the teacher progressing together!
.
When you train you have to devote yourself only to the way of Karate – think of nothing else……. You must not only learn body movements but also research and study the art itself.” ??
