More quotes by Kenwa Mabuni
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.
Kenwa Mabuni
Do not fall into the trap of thinking that just because a kata begins to the left that the opponent is attacking from the left.
Kenwa Mabuni
