To him, kata was Karate. Funakoshi Gichin believed that the mental attitude of Karate was more important than the physical aspect. He left to the Karate world twenty precepts to follow. Karate begins and ends with respect. In Karate one does not make the first move.
Intuition is more than technique.
Free your mind. Misfortune always occurs in negligence. Do not think that Karate is always in the Dojo. Put your everyday living into Karate, you will find myo. Real Karate is as hot water returning to cold water if energy is not constantly applied.
