zen in the art of dressage : zen quotes



  Gichin Funakoshi


"You may train for a long, long time, but if you merely move your hands and feet and jump up and down like a puppet, learning karate is not very different from learning to dance. You will never have reached the heart of the matter; you will have failed to grasp the quintessence of karate-do."
-Gichin Funakoshi, J. Hyams (1979, 87).
