Karate 5th Precept - Mentality Over Technique T-Shirt

Karate 5th Precept - Mentality Over Technique T-Shirt

A minimalist sumi-e inspired artwork capturing the essence of Gichin Funakoshi’s 5th Precept of Karate: “Mentality over technique.” The hand-drawn illustration of a kneeling karateka in seiza reflects the quiet strength and discipline that lies at the heart of true martial arts. Above him, the original Japanese Kanji - 技術より心術 - conveys the same teaching in its authentic form, reminding practitioners that mastery begins in the mind before it is expressed through movement. Designed in the calm, balanced style of traditional ink art, this piece embodies focus, humility, and the philosophy that spirit and intention outweigh skill alone.

Have had Zazzle complete a number of T-shirt projects in the past. This one had several design elements. It was well done. I will work with Zazzle again.

The T shirt seems to be made from decent material but appears to be an irregular t-shirt sewn and stitched. .

Our Girl Scouts were bridging to adult and our troop dad was always there to lend a helping hand. We wanted to do something special for him so we put special pictures on the front and a note on the back. It brought a tear to his eye. .
