I have noticed that when a new student performs a kata and does 2 things right and 98 things wrong, I am very happy for the 2 things.
But when an advanced student performs a kata and does 98 things right and 2 things wrong, I am very upset about the 2 things. By upset, I don't mean mad -- just that I really want to fix those things.
Respectfully,

"Karate Jutsu" means "China Hand art". Karate came to Okinawa from China. Only in the 1930s or so, was the term "Karate" changed to mean "Empty Hand". "China Hand" was used in Hawaii until after World War II, and is still used in some dojo.
For more information, please visit the Hawaii Karate Seinenkai website.
The spirit of Karate is the Aloha spirit.
