Mas Oyama oppsummerte hele hans kampsport filosofi med elleve motto, kjent som Zayu no Mei Juichi Kajo, som er meget essensiell i hans trening:
Zayu no Mei Juichi Kajo
- The Martial Way begins and ends with courtesy. Therefore, be properly
and genuinely courteous at all times.
- Following the Martial Way is like scaling a cliff- continue upwards
without
rest. It demands absolute and unfaltering devotion to the task at hand.
- Strive to seize the initiative in all things, all the time guarding
against
actions stemming from selfish animosity or thoughtlessness.
- Even for the Martial Artist, the place of money cannot be ignored. Yet one
should be careful never to become attached to it.
- The Martial Way is centered in posture. Strive to maintain correct
posture at all times.
- The Martial Way begins with one thousand days and is mastered after
ten thousand days of training.
- In the Martial Arts, introspection begets wisdom. Always see
contemplation on your actions as an opportunity to improve.
- The nature and purpose of the Martial Way is universal. All selfish
desires should be roasted in the tempering fires of hard training.
- The Martial Arts begin with a point and end in a circle. Straight lines
stem from this principle.
- The true essence of the Martial Way can only be realized through
experience.
Knowing this, learn never to fear its demands.
- Always remember, in the Martial Arts, the rewards of a confident and
grateful
heart are truly abundant.
