A basic and very essential part of Karate training. It means that Karateka must never attack first — mentally or physically. To understand this fully years of hard, correct training are needed.

As the Karateka grows in stature so also will grow his good manners and etiquette, outwardly and, even more important, inwardly.

All Karate training must be intense and with purpose.

Correct Dojo etiquette is essential.
