"The ultimate aim of the art of karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of the characters of its participants."- Gichin Funakoshi


 

What is a good training schedule for a karate student?



"Don't seek what your sensei is seeking, seek what he has sought." —FJL

"Practice punching and kicking until your arms and legs hurt, read about martial arts training, etiquette and philosophy until your eyes hurt, and think about karate until your head hurts. Rest a bit… and then start over."

Originally written for samurai and edited for karate ka
—Bujin editor FJLovret 1978 Sept.

Gichin Funakoshi pointed out that, "What you have been taught by listening to others’ words you will forget very quickly; what you have learned with your whole body you will remember for the rest of your life."
