Quotes from Soke Behzad Ahmadi

If you wish to break with tradition, learn your craft well, and embrace adversity

The essence of warrior traits are demonstrated by : integrity with self, and honesty with others

Never strike out of anger if at all possible, this will give your enemy the advantage and strengthen his resolve and psyche

Karate training will make you strong and confident, but restraint will make you respected

Karate without heart is just A corpse

An open mind, is the best weapon, in the fight between light and darkness

To react, is to be A slave to someone else's actions. Sometimes, A warrior is faced with the decision to strike pre-emptively, trusting his intuition, wisdom and years of training

Most inherent beauties are hidden, as are precious stones in the rocks

The warrior guided by the spirit serves humanity, the warrior without, serves the ego

The purpose of Karate is to guide you out of trouble by any means necessary, both in actual combat and in life
