Shingo Miyashiro

“The best fighter is never angry.”
― Lao Tzu

“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

“Rehearse your death every morning and night. Only when you constantly live as though already a corpse (jōjū shinimi) will you be able to find freedom in the martial Way, and fulfill your duties without fault throughout your life.”
― Yamamoto Tsunetomo, Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai

“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
