Principle

“Progress along the way (DO) is one of hardship resulting in joy and cherished human relationship. These are special rights given to students and it is the duty of the student to accept the hardships of KEN (sword) JO (staff) and TAIJUTSU (body arts) practice to actively move forward along the way.”

(Morihiro Saito Sensei, 9. Dan, 1928-2002)
