In karate culture, “Arigatō gozaimash*ta” and “Osu (Oss)” represent two very different expressions of respect—one formal and reflective, the other strong and enduring.
Arigatō gozaimash*ta is a polite and formal way of saying “thank you,” typically used at the end of training. It reflects gratitude toward the instructor, training partners, and the learning experience itself. When a karateka says this, usually with a bow, it shows humility, appreciation, and respect for the dojo and everyone in it.
Osu (押忍), on the other hand, carries a deeper and more intense meaning. It is commonly used during training to express respect, acknowledgment, perseverance, and fighting spirit. Saying “Osu” is not just polite—it shows commitment, readiness to endure hardship, and a strong mindset. It can mean “yes,” “I understand,” or “I will push through.”
In simple terms, “Arigatō gozaimash*ta” is gratitude after the journey, while “Osu” is the spirit that carries you through it.

At Shinbukai, we teach a mindset of pulling each other up. It’s about learning how to appreciate others, staying humble, and so much more. Instead of being consumed by envy, we should choose to be inspired.

Everyone sees the black belt… but no one remembers the beginning. On the first day, there’s excitement, confidence, even innocence—a clean uniform, a smile, and a belief that the journey will be simple. But ten years later, that same person stands transformed—calmer, harder, shaped by pain, discipline, and countless unseen battles. The smile fades into focus, the body carries marks of sacrifice, and the mind becomes sharper than any technique. What changed wasn’t just skill—it was character, resilience, and identity. Karate doesn’t just teach you how to fight… it rebuilds who you are. So the real question is: are you ready to become someone unrecognizable from who you are today?
