COMMENT:
"By training ourselves physically in the real world we can see ourselves
as we really are - not as we imagine ourselves to be. In today's fast-paced
culture it is precisely this kind of lesson that often eludes us. By overcoming
hardships and difficulties in training, karate practitioners learn the real power
of the human mind. By working hard in the dojo we are able to harness that
power so that it may be applied to our daily lives. Karate is a fantastic path
of discovery and development. I hope that you will attain your goals through
karate, and that someday we can train together."
