"Train diligently and understand. Explore every movement while sticking to a partner and your teacher is there to correct you. If you have no partner and no teacher a mirror and wooden dummy can aid you. Keep your eyes angry imagine your enemy. The method is from the ancestors, the key is adapting to conditions. Understand all this and you will never meet with failure."

"An ordinary man will draw his sword when ridiculed and will fight risking his life, but he may not be called a courageous man. A truly great man is not disturbed even when suddenly confronted with an unexpected event or crisis, nor angered upon finding himself in situations not of his own making, and this is because he has a great heart and his aim is high."
Master Gichin Funakoshi from The Karate-do Kyohan
