‘’Let’s look at karate again. The fact that people train in karate-do so assiduously, even in an age where the power of technology in the hands of the untrained has far outstripped the defensive or destructive capabilities of a trained karateka, should indicate to us that there is something more going in the precincts of karate dojo than you would expect.
I have come to the conclusion that, despite its overtly physical nature, the study of karate-do is very much a thing of the mind, a psychological and spiritual journey as well as a physical one. This is the result of both my own experience studying the art and of the insights gained through trying to teach others the complexities of this Way.’’
