Funikoshi Quotes

Gichin Funakoshi

The ultimate aim of the art of Karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of the characters of its participants.

 

To practice kata is not to memorize an order. You must find the kata that work for you, understand them, digest them and stick with them for life.

There is no first attack in karate.

~ Gichin Funakoshi
