Shingo Miyashiro

“The Samurai lived by a code of honor, not unlike the code that you live by. It’s called the Bushido. It was never written down; was always something the Samurai knew, and it was handed down from one warrior to another. One of the tenets of the code is about justice. Not the pounding of a gavel on the bench of some judge who’s been appointed to pass judgment on people by some politician. No, malaka, this concept of justice is what you feel in your bones: to die when it is right and to strike when it is right.”
― Kenneth Eade, An Evil Trade

“Bushido as an independent code of ethics may vanish, but its power will not perish from the earth; its schools of martial prowess or civic honor may be demolished, but its light and its glory will long survive their ruins. Like its symbolic flower, after it is blown to the four winds, it will still bless mankind with the perfume with which it will enrich life.”
― Inazo Nitobe, Bushido: The Soul of Japan

“The warrior guided by the spirit serves humanity, the warrior without, serves the ego”
― Soke Behzad Ahmadi

“Karate is not about techniques and their execution, but about boldness, integrity and fight for justice and common good”
― Soke Behzad Ahmadi, Shorinjiryu Ryujin Kenpo
