Sayings:
Stripe 1:
When circular moves end, linear begin; when linear moves end, circular reoccur.
Many answers lie in a single move, but many moves do not necessarily give a single answer.
Stripe 2:
There are no pure styles of karate. Purity comes only when pure knuckles meet pure flesh no matter who delivers or receives.
He who hesitates, meditates in a horizontal position.
Belt:
To beat action, meet it.
Fair play is when your opponents definition of fair play is equally matched with yours.
