Quotes

• 살을 주고 뼈를 배라
• "In this marvelous world of Budo, although each kata is different,
  each stands to awaken the practitioner —
  yet does not grant a guarantee, for nothing is certain
  ...not even this.”
  -Shinzen

劍德正本

검덕정본(劍德正本)
검도를 수련하는 것은 검덕을 쌓는 것이다.
(바른 인격을 가진 사람이 되어 사회에 기여)
검도는 채우는 것이 아니라 자꾸 버리는 것이다.
(화려한 기술, 스피드를 연마하는 것보다 기본을 충실히 익히는 것이 평생검도의 길, 8단으로 가는 길)
- 허광수 관장
