Everyone wants to be happy. The sourse of happiness comes from the inside, it cannot be got from external things. Giving and sharing will be bring lasting happiness. Those will live for only themselves will never be happy in the real sense of the word.

Practicing traditional karate does not involve competition. Traditional karate has its origins in Okinawa, before that China and before India. If anyone has studied and understood this linage will understand that this amazing defence has evolved for one purpose and which is about defence. One must understand that competition involves the ego, the individual personality, or group involvement or group ego. It separates indiviuals or groups of people at the mind level and it lives for the attitude of me and mine, whereas traditional karate is selfless.
