Consider the following...
It is considered essential to develop the body's skill through patterned exercises.
As you become skillful in technique through practice, Ki harmonizes and the principle of the place that contains ki is manifested on its own...
Drill and discipline are considered essential...
Though your mind is strong, when you turn your back on form, you will hit a point where you likely won't hit anything at all...
Your intention must be absolutely exact, your form correct, and your ki must fill your entire body and be alive...
When you do not know the advantages and disadvantages of form, you will make mistakes...
When your practice of technique is mature, you control your ki and settle your spirit...
When your practice of karate is mature, when it has deeply penetrated your mind, when you have tried your hand at your techniques and there are neither doubts nor fears, your ki will be vital, your spirit will be settled, and your practical application will go through its changes with complete freedom and without obstacle...
The karate-ka who responds naturally - the karate-ka who comes with out form and goes with out trace, and who has that unexpected mysterious function - has the state of mushin...

Secrets of the Ninja
Learn about the secrets of the Ninja in this free online book by Ashida Kim.
Making war is not hard, keeping the peace is hard. That is why the Ninja, who value peace and harmony above all else, have gone to such great lengths over many centuries to canonize and preserve these methods. And why, because it is so simple, the techniques have often been turned to revenge or used to raise and army quickly. When there is no justice, the Ninja appear. They are not “called to action” by anyone. They are just ordinary people in extraordinary situations. They need not have a “clan” or “credentials” or even a great deal of training. They only need the Will.
The Ninja do what must be done, then it is forgotten. Princes and kings may gain some
temporary advantage through Force. But, the only lasting accomplishments are achieved
through Love.
This is the true lesson of Ninjitsu
