“Where there is no practice, there is no Karate practitioner. Never fail to practice.” (end quote) – Minoru Higa 10th dan Shorin Ryu Kyudokan

‘究道無限’ (Kyudo Mugen) – (The Path of Study Never Ends)
.
It is easy to believe you know enough. You have reached all the knowledge you need or want. You train and workout, you have achieved your grades and belts. There is no more to learn! If you’re an instructor, what do you do when you have taught your students everything you know?
.
It is always important to remember that there is always more to learn – more depth, more knowledge over time to be gained. You must trust the quality of what you know too, not just the quantity.
.
There’s a lot out there to learn. Whatever you know, however you understand the techniques and principles, there is always more, another perspective, a deeper understanding that could change how you think about things.
.
So constantly push those boundaries, not just for what you know, but also what you don’t know; every answer brings new questions. It is important to keep your mind open to learning new things.
.
Training and learning has no end. Keep practicing, keep studying. ??
