Karate Creed

I come to you with only karate: empty hands. I have no weapons. But should I be forced to defend myself, my honor or my principles; should it be a matter of life or death, of right or wrong, then here are my weapons: my empty hands.

Isshinryu Code

5. The body should be able to change motion at any time.

6. Action to hit is when the opportunity presents itself.
