"Kaizen, meaning "continuous improvement" in Japanese, is a core philosophy in martial arts, focusing on small, consistent, and incremental improvements over time rather than rapid, drastic changes. It emphasizes refining techniques, building mental fortitude, and enhancing character through daily, dedicated practice, leading to long-term mastery."
