One becomes a beginner after 1000 days of training. One becomes a master after 10,000 days of practice.
If someone asked me what a human being ought to devote the maximum of his life to, I would answer: training. Train more than you sleep.
Subjecting yourself to vigourous training is more for the sake of forging a resolute spirit that can vanquish the self than it is for developing a strong body.
Until the day I die, I never want to be separated from my dogi; I never want to cease my training efforts in the dojo.
As far as possible, I want nothing more than to don my training gi and teach Karate.
Sice Karate exists for cultivating the spirit and training the body, it must be a moral way surpassing mere techniques.
