Gichin Funakoshi
If the reason you go to a tournament is to bring home a trophy, my advice is to just stay home. Take the money you would have spent on the tournament, and go buy yourself a trophy with it. The only reason to go to a tournament, win or lose is for experience.
Master Mike Hixson, 2/99
