Karate is a lifelong pursuit

There is no single point that marks the completion of karate training; there is always a higher level. For this reason martial artists should continue training thoughout their life.

The true path of training is a boundless road with no end. Simply having learned all the kata (formal exercises) and blocking techniques does not constitue true training unless one continues to polish them.

Walking this endless road, becoming better today than yesterday, and then better tomorrow than today-throughout one's life-is a true image of the
Way of Karate.
