Term: Funakoshi

1. Be deadly serious in training.
• Your opponent must always be present in your mind, whether you sit or stand or walk or raise your arms.
• Should you in combat strike a karate blow, you must have no doubt whatsoever that the one blow decides everything.
• If you have made an error, you will be the one who falls.
• You must always be prepared for such an eventuality.

2. Train with heart and soul without worrying about theory.
• Very often the man who lacks that essential quality of deadly seriousness will take refuge in theory.
