Kuro Obi – Black Belt (Just part of Movie) Few Funakoshi’s princeples: – Karate-do begins with courtesy and ends with rei. – There is no first strike in karate. – Spirit first, technique second. – Do not think that you have to win, think rather that you do not have to lose. – Victory depends on your ability to distinguish vulnerable points from invulnerable ones. – Beginners must master low stance and posture, natural body positions are for the advanced. Sensei Taiji Kase: First block, then see what happend.
