Outstanding Training and Instruction

A few gritty and revealing quotes by some historically significant Budo-Ka!

  • Gichin Funakoshi

    “Punching, striking and kicking are not the only methods in karate.  Throwing techniques and submission holds are included.  All of these techniques should be studied in basic kata”

  • Hohan Soken (1889 – 1982)

    “My old way of karate was not accepted by everyone.  Maybe my training methods were too hard or severe.  Whatever it was, it was the way I learned and taught.  It was only later, when the Americans came, that I changed my ways …”

  • Hironori Otsuka (1892 – 1982)

    “Kata must be practiced diligently, but you must not be constrained by them.  You must withdraw from kata to produce forms with no limits, or else it becomes useless.”

  • Kenwa Mabuni

    “A kata is not fixed or immovable.  Like water, it is ever changing and fits itself to the shape of the vessel containing it.”  (this is an emphasis in our training at seminars)

  • Kenwa Mabuni

    “Do not fall into the trap of thinking that just because a kata begins to the left, that the opponent is attacking from the left” (another good one on the meaning of direction in kata)

  • Gichin Funakoshi (1868 – 1957)

    “In the past, roughly three years were required to learn a single kata, and usually even an expert of considerable skill would only know three, or at the most, five kata”

  • Choki Motobu

    “There are many kinds of postures in karate.  While learning these postures should not be totally ignored, we must be careful not to overlook that they are just forms or templates.  It is the function of their application which needs to be mastered”

  • Kenwa Mabuni

    "Regardless of how many kata you know, if your training is inadequate, they will be useless”

  • Choki Motobu

    “Nothing is more harmful to the world than a martial art that is not effective in actual self defense”
