Famous Words

"As a mirror's polished surface reflects whatever stands before it and a quiet valley carries even the smallest sounds, so must the student of karate render his mind empty of selfishness and wickedness in an effort to react appropriately toward anything he might encounter. This is the true meaning of kara or 'empty' of karate."

Gichin Funakoshi (1867 - 1957).
