Isshin-Ryu Creed

This page provides details regarding the creed of Isshin-Ryu Karate. This is the set of beliefs that guides students of Isshin-Ryu.

I come to you with only karate, empty hands. I have no weapons. But should I be forced to defend myself, my honor or my principles, should it be a matter of life or death, of right or wrong, then here are my weapons: my empty hands.
