Saw this in Black Belt, too, and thought it was interesting:

"The ultimate aim of Karate lies not in victory or defeat but in the development of character. Because a winner doesn't stay a winner forever, nor need a loser remain a loser forever."

A little different, and a little of the same.

True, as a karate instructor the biggest thing that I teach my children isn't how to fight but how to respect others in this world. I essentially try and teach them the "Middle Path" without calling it that, due to the fact that I teach at a Christian school and myself being Christian it is just easier as a believer of the "Middle Path" to restrain from calling it that to avoid flack from my overseer.
