This way of thinking helps karateka practice with hope, respect, and an open mind, which creates a school where everyone feels encouraged. Kokan helps people become more resilient and kinder, which not only helps them concentrate better but also brings out the best in other people. This way of thinking fits with the basic ideas of karate, which combine discipline with a real desire to help and support each other.
