MIZU NO KOKORO (a mind like water) is our association motto but did you know........
This term was emphasized in the teachings of the ancient karate masters. It refers to the mental attitude required while facing an actual opponent. MIZO NO KOKORO refers to the need to make the mind calm like the surface of undisturbed water. To carry the symbolism farther, smooth water reflects accuratly the image of all objects within its range, and if the mind is kept in this state,apprehension of the opponents movements, both psychological and physical, will be both immediate and accurate, and ones responses, both defensive and offensive, will be appropriate and adequate.
