Bodhidharma (also known as Daruma in Japanese) was an Indian Buddhist monk who lived in the 5th or 6th century. According to legend, he traveled to China and introduced Chan (Zen) Buddhism, emphasizing meditation and self-realization.

Bodhidharma is often depicted as a fierce, bearded monk with a strong will and intense gaze. He's credited with teaching physical and mental discipline to the Shaolin monks, influencing the development of martial arts and Zen Buddhism in China and beyond. His teachings focus on inner strength, self-awareness, and spiritual growth.

There are no styles of karate-do, just varying interpretations of its principles.
Those who are thinking of the future of karate should have an open mind and strive to study the complete art.

Shoshin Shōgai" means to maintain a beginner's mind throughout one’s entire life — always staying humble, open, and eager to learn, no matter how advanced you become.

初心生涯」とは、生涯を通じて初心の心を保ち続けることを意味します。どれほど上達しても、常に謙虚で、素直に、学ぶ意欲を持ち続ける姿勢です。
