Of Shoto Budo Karate he says,

Sometimes Shoto Budo is about kicking, punching, throwing, blocking, parrying, wrestling, attacking and defending.
Sometimes Shoto Budo is about teaching, sharing ideas and knowledge.
Sometimes Shoto Budo is about developing your body and your spirit.
Sometimes Shoto Budo is about discovering your strengths and challenging your fears.
Sometimes Shoto Budo is about discipline and control and other times it is more creative and chaotic.
Sometimes Shoto Budo is about the self and sometimes about others.
Sometimes Shoto Budo is about a quick workout and other times it is a lifelong training.
Sometimes Shoto Budo is about the mind, body and spirit…
BUT why listen to me? ….. Come and try for yourself.”
