兎と亀の競争、兎は走りが飛ぶように速く、集中して力を発揮すれば大いなる前進が期待できます。
少年少女達の上達振りには、目を見張るものが有り、勿論現役の若い選手達のたくましい逞し強く成つている、
それに比べて亀は、確実に一歩一歩前に進む“継続は力なり”
目的に向かって、一直線に最善を尽くして､精進努力する事が大切
自分自身の心、技、体を向上させることが究極の目的
Thoughts from the last practice of 2011:
In the race between the rabbit and the turtle, the rabbit runs like an arrow, making great progress quickly.
Looking at our young students and competitors, their technical improvement is very fast. By continuing to concentrate on training, we can expect great progress from them.
In contrast, the turtle advances step by step, with continuous effort.
The final goal of Karate practice is to obtain healthy Mind (shin), Technique (gi), and Body (tai). It is important to continuously practice with devotion towards this goal.
