Attitude to be kept in Karate training
1. Karate begins and ends with courtesy. So be courteous to seniors, juniors and elders and to friends and foes.
2. We must sweep from our mind all egocentric and preoccupying thoughts during practice
3. Concentrate on all movements with maximum vigor.
4. When this is done Karate ultimately produces in the individual a vital concentration of energy that expands to heroic proportions in times of crisis.
5. Karate requires harmony between breath and action.
6. We must learn to adjust our breathing until we reach the point where each breath coincides with each of the movement during practice.
7. Kata requires a perfect finish at the end of each kata performance.
8. Each kata practice must be completed with full mind and maximum power.
9. One must begin or end practice by bowing with decorum
