• Con la esperanza de que el kárate se incluyera en la educación física universal que se imparte en nuestras escuelas públicas, me puse a revisar los katas para hacerlos lo más sencillos posible. Los tiempos cambian, el mundo cambia y, obviamente, las artes marciales también deben cambiar. El kárate que practican hoy los estudiantes de secundaria no es el mismo que se practicaba hace tan sólo diez años [este libro fue escrito en 1956], y está muy lejos del kárate que yo aprendí cuando era niño en Okinawa.

• There is no place in contemporary Karate-do for different schools. Some instructors, I know, claim to have invented new and unusual kata, and so they arrogate to themselves the right to be called founders of "schools". Indeed, I have heard myself and my colleagues referred to as the Shoto-kan school, but I strongly object to this attempt at classification. My belief is that all these "schools" should be amalgamated into one so that Karate-do may pursue and orderly and useful progress into man's future.

• To me, ultimately, martial arts means honestly expressing yourself. Now, it is very difficult to do. It has always been very easy for me to put on a show and be cocky, and be flooded with a cocky feeling and feel pretty cool and all that. I can make all kinds of phoney things. Blinded by it. Or I can show some really fancy movement. But to experience oneself honestly, not lying to oneself, and to express myself honestly, now that is very hard to do.

• Pour some water into a tub and stir it up. Now try as hard as you can to calm the water with your hands; you will succeed in agitating it further. Let it stand undisturbed a while, and it will calm down by itself. The human brain works much the same way.

• Ever since my children were born, the moment I looked at them I was crazy about them. Once I held them I was hooked. I am addicted to my children sir. I love them with all my heart and the idea of someone telling me I can't be with them, I can't see them everyday. Well, it's like someone saying I can't have air.

• Si estás estudiando para un examen no estás pensando en los resultados. Si siempre estás preocupado por los resultados, no puedes estudiar mucho. Así que estar comprometido y desvinculado del resultado es excelente. La excelencia es comportamiento. Quiero decir, ¿no es eso de lo que tratan las artes marciales? Y de eso se trata la meditación, de eso se trata, en muchos sentidos, el deporte.

• A kata is not fixed or immoveable. Like water, it's ever changing and fits itself to the shape of the vessel containing it. However, kata are not some kind of beautiful competitive dance, but a grand martial art of self-defense - which determines life and death.
