The way to reach the true essence of Karate-do: Five Dojo Precepts
To understand the Dojo Precepts is not easy: the karateka must strictly be trained with the clear explanation from experienced Karate Sensei. The true essence of Karate-do is not only on the physical training but also the understanding of “Zen” philosophy.  Without the correct advice of true Karate Sensei, Karateka cannot be able to develop and succeed in his Karate-do.

Japanese translation:
Hitosu, jinkaku kansei ni tsutomuru koto
Hitotsu, makoto no michi wo mamoru koto
Hitotsu, doryoku no seishin o yashinau koto
Hitotsu, reigi o omonzuru koto
Hitotsu, kekki no yu o imashimuru koto
