A true karate-ka respects all life and honors the memories of those who have passed. One who will always try to help others and exercise integrity and honesty at all times. A karate-ka will always seek the peaceful route to solve a disagreement and understand the responsibility of physical power and authority, but does not abuse them. For those who practice Karate as a way of life it becomes more then merely a method of fighting or fitness. There are mental or internal rewards such as self-confidence, disciple and humility.
