The other day, after a Hawaii Karate Kenkyukai training, I complimented my friend's student on his progress. The student responded, "Mada, mada, mada."
That was very well said!
See: Guest Post: Mada, Mada, Mada, by Sensei Pat Nakata, who happens to be the student's Sensei.

"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.
