If you cannot control your emotions and your body, how do you think you can control a person or situation from overrunning
you.
Master Eddie Thomas
Dojo Oath
We will train with our hearts and bodies
for a firm, unshaking spirit.
We will pursue the true meaning of the martial ways
that in time our senses may be alert.
With true vigor, we will seek to cultivate
a spirit of self denial.
We will observe the rules of courtesy,
respect our superiors, and refrain from violence.
We will pay homage to our creator
and never forget the true virtue of humility.
We will look upwards to wisdom and strength,
not seeking other desires.
All our lives, through the disciplines of Karate, we will seek to
fulfill the true meaning of the way.
Tatsuo Shimabuku (Founder of Ishinryu Karate)
