“Originally this was the most important thing about martial arts – to reach a higher level, to become a strong human being. Strong doesn’t mean big arms. It means who can be a more strict human being with himself. That is the ideal of martial arts.”
– Tsutomu Ohshima, Founder, Shotokan Karate of America
