HATSUUN JINDO - PARTING THE CLOUDS, SEEKING THE WAY
The path of Karate is not always clear but often concealed by clouds of distraction. Normally, ranks, titles, prizes, and the desire for fame and fortune, do not contribute to make things easier. Furthermore, many content themselves with following others blindly; it comes as no surprise they never get beyond many years of shallow practice. But even the most sincere karateka may find it very difficult to find answers to their questions. Inspiring and knowledgeable sensei and senpai will undoubtedly provide invaluable help, but we must never forget true answers come from within, so nothing can substitute your own enquiring mind.
