Anyway he started practicing karate with ¡Ènot-pure motive¡É, but
his
perspective on karate was changing through training in karate. When he was
26 years old, he devoted himself to practicing karate with the policy,
¡ÈBest defense is offense or attack.¡É But nowadays he runs away in
a hurry
if a drunken man annoys him. It is a win without fighting. One day Higa¡Çs
friend saw Higa annoyed by a drunken man. Higa ran away in a hurry from a
drunken man without fighting. Some days later Higa¡Çs friend told Higa,
¡ÈAt that time I thought I could see the real fight by the karate
master.¡É
Higa said to him, ¡ÈI know I could defeat him if I fought, so I ran away.
I
won the fight as I ran away. My opponent must have thought he won the fight
as I ran away. Both of us thought we won, so no problem. It¡Çs all
right.¡É
That is exactly a win without fighting.

The mottos of Kyudokan, Master Yuchoku Higa¡Çs karate dojo, are as
follows.
(1) Avoid fighting or quarreling.
(2) Respect your elders and take care of your youngers.
(3) Morality and good manners at karate dojo will have an influence on the
community.

The number of students who have practiced at Kyudokan exceeds ten thousand.
Currently about 40 students are practicing karate at Kyudokan. Last year (=
1977) Master Yuchoku Higa went to Argentine at the invitation of Argentine
branch of Kyudokan. There are 51 dojos affiliated with Kydokan and about
5,800 students in Argentine. In February and April of this year (= 1978),
the disciples of Master Higa will go to Peru and Brazil to open karate
dojos.
