Mikami Shihan's Five Maxims of Karate Practice

1. We will accomplish more, if our hurdle is set higher.

2. We win with our mind first in a Kumite.

3. Repeating one technique or Kata many times is a basis of reaching the understanding of this Art. All eventually become subconsciously automatic

4. Renzoku Waza is a basis of control of all parts of our body. It requires harmonious breathing.

5. In a close combat, the first move is to lower your hips (thus lower the body's gravity)

Arashiro Shihan taught us some simple (but hard) Karate Body Building

Shimabukuro Shihan explained and demonstrated various Tanto Dori

Koyama Shihan states that Karate requires for us to understand the four seasons, in pursuit of a life time Karate.
