You're right, these men definitely did sacrifice for their arts. I would also agree that they eventually saw their efforts as a matter of doing what is right, rather than gaining something specific from it (at least we can hope). John - Yes I believe that story is also told in Karate-do MWOL. It is definitely funny and getting a glimpse at these guys quirks really humanizes them. Mike – Thanks for commenting!

You have to admit, Funakoshi trying to steal a glance at the mystery driver while trying to relieve himself is a bit funny. Another story about Funakoshi with some unintentional humor (maybe in the book you mentioned? I don't have it) involves someone approaching the master one day about taking karate. Like Sueyoshi, Funakoshi was working at some day job and immediately excused himself before discussing anything related to the martial arts. Only after he returned wearing a formal kimono did he feel ready to talk business. Interesting story.

I can't help but notice what many would consider great sacrifice on the part of both of these men (esp. when you consider that Funakoshi also wasn't wealthy and the amount of time he spent away from his family). I wonder if either would view it that way or if at some point what most consider sacrifice just becomes a way of life and of doing what needs to be done. On a side note, I was just reading that the majority of folks in my profession do not own any books on the subject nor brush up on skills outside of work. I'm sure the same holds true for many martial artists. Keep up the great posts. Mattsan – Don’t usually comment on posts but this one got me thinking.
