[laughs] Chojun Miyagi Sensei said one of the best things about Karate is that you don’t need too much space or too much time and you can do it anytime. Morning, afternoon, evening, any time is a good time. You can be asleep and train inside you mind! [laughs] KYUNA SENSEI: Judo, Kendo, Sumo, etc, you need a partner to practice, but the beauty of Karate-do is that you can do it by yourself, anytime of the day or night. HIGAONNA SENSEI: The most important part is that you continue. You fight the battle against yourself. You don’t need a partner, the best enemy is yourself. Thank you to Master Higaonna & Master Kyuna for taking the time to share their wisdom with Karate-ka around the world A TRIBUTE FOR THE 75th BIRTHDAY OF OUR SENSEI
