REI and SETSU

REI is based on the respect of human dignity, and the willingness to express this respect. It is a way of improving relationship between individuals and is a contributing factor to social harmony.

SETSU is the way to express this concept in action, Those who practice Karatedo must deepen their understanding of the sprit of Rei, and in inter-personal relationships, strictly observe the rules of Setsu.
