Makoto (誠)

In karate, Makoto (誠) represents sincerity, truthfulness, faithfulness and honesty. It is a key principle that inspires practitioners to approach training and relationships with honesty, dedication, and true intent.
Makoto means being truthful with yourself and others, showing honor in all your actions, techniques, and choices. Sincerity shows up in real life as a completely honest effort, with no holding back or lying to oneself about one's skills or goals. Makoto believes that treating others with respect, honesty, and humility is important, no matter if they are students, teachers, or training partners. These traits build trust in the Dojo and in everyday life.
Embracing Makoto helps karateka build a pure and honorable character, essential for true mastery and understanding of the art.
