Dojo Kun - Be Faithful
Dojo Kun - literal translation means "training hall rules". There are five main rules that serve as guiding principles for all who train in the dojo. Although they are usually listed in a set order, no one rule is more important than any other. To emphasise this all five are prefixed with hitotsu and end with koto, which together mean "one point".
One Point! Be FaithfulHitotsu! Makato no michi o mamoru koto.
The Obstacle is The Path - Zen Proverb
As humans, we often look for that which is easy and, consequently, not challenging. We create life hacks, take short cuts, and shorten things that need to be left alone. This is what distinguishes a martial artist from a non-practitioner of the arts and a success story from a beaten down soldier.

You won't even know why you may want to accomplish the things you set out to do.
