"The ultimate aim of Karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of the character of its participants." Master Gichin Funakoshi

Kara

The above quote of Gichin Funakoshi is the meaning of 'kara' and remains one of its principle concepts; the emptying of the mind and all thoughts.

Okinawa had its own form of combat for many years before the arrival of the Shaolin-szu technique. this was 'te' (hand). A form of unarmed combat using full use of arms.

'As a mirror's polished surface reflects whatever stands before it and a quiet valley carries even small sounds, so must the student of karate render his mind empty of selfishness in an effort to react appropriately toward anything he may encounter'
