Shōshin Nagamine (長嶺 将真, Nagamine Shōshin, 15 July 1907 – 2 November 1997) was a Japanese author from Okinawa as well as a soldier, police officer, and karate master.
Even after many years, kata practice is never finished, for there is always something new to be learned about executing a movement.
Karate-do is definitely a martial way, and its identity lies in do or principles. Any martial art without proper training of the mind turns into beastly behavior.
Karate-do may be referred to as the conflict within yourself, or a life-long marathon which can be won only through self-discipline, hard training, and your own creative efforts.
