An explanation of Su-Ha-Ri

    • Su - A beginner must copy all he is taught from his sensei
    • Ha - After years of training, when he has advanced into the black belt ranks, he may develop techniques of his own, as long as the fundamentals have not been violated
    • Ri - All karate moves must be natural reactions. When attacked the karate ka must react instantly without thought or premeditation.
