Generally in sports one trains to perform a set of actions and competes/compares against others, one is judged by the physical abilities, by being faster, stronger or technically better. Superiority in sports is short lived...as you can hardly find an old champion of anything.
True Karate is more than a sport, it is a life style and a never ending strives for excellence of character through hardship of body and discipline of mind.
True Karate is called Budo or Art of Killing...learning to Kill your worst enemy...your FEARS....we mentally challenge ourselves every day to push our bodies beyond its limits, to make it TOUGHER and STRONGER.
This continuous challenge makes us mentally strong and tough....the tougher we are the easier it is to be kind and humble without feeling humiliated.
We all have to choose as individuals or as a nation, how we want to live in this world:
