武芸における技術の伝承では，身体を媒介としているために，ある程度の変容は免れない。特に空手は変容に対する許容性が高い。したがって，一見異なって見える空手の流派間の技術的差異は，流祖の身体（身体感覚）的差異に基づく理解の差異に起因している可能性が高い。その見かけの違いを捨象し，通底する本質を見極めるべきである。流派は異なれど，空手として通底する本質が存在するはずであり，その本質を探求することが空手修行である。つまり，空手的身体の神髄を追い求めることである。それは，いたってシンプルな諸原理，諸原則と考えられる。空手に流派無し，とした先人の思いがここにあるのではないだろうか。
In the transmission of techniques of martial arts, technical changes to some extent is inevitable because the transmission is done through bodies. Especially karate has a high acceptability to the changes. Therefore, the seeming differences in techniques between schools of karate is possible to be attributed to the differences in understanding of karate based on the founders' physical (body sensational) differences. What we have to do is to find out the underlying truth without the seeming differences. In spite of schools' differences, there ought to be the essence underlying karate, and it is a practice of karate that is to pursue the essence. In other words, it is to pursue the quintessence of "karate-body" (bodily existential style developed by karate). It is thought of as very simple several principles. Is here a desire that forerunners of karate insisted that karate has no school?
