So far I’ve mentioned and emphasized how important it is for one to understand that the control of one’s body’s hardness is maintained through timing of breathing. By mastering this timing, one could exert the massive potential and powers to defeat opponents.
I’ve outlined my way of karate-do by using tactics, mental conditioning, and physical fitness and control. In general, we tend to ignore these concepts and approach karate-do as a negative, extremely rational or strictly spiritual experience. However, we probably can only explain and understand the things in these ways because mankind is only aware of a small segment of the total picture. Even medical science or natural science is limited in its perception of the total experience. If we only pass on the tradition to the next generation, karate-do would have been died out generations ago. The fact is there are many common things therein when ones approached the core of the things. It is not so hard to imagine that karate-do was formed for several years ago and that it was approached as it is now, by many of karate-do practitioners have evolved the art based on their experiences, knowledge and even their political briefs.

I will conclude this journal by the confession that it is my mission to contribute to the future of karate-do, not to utterly take what my former Sensei instructed me for granted, but with diligent study of the arts of karate-do, learn and pass on what many previous karate-do practitioners have experienced.
