1) Justice

Looking up to the martial artists of old and classical Eastern Philosophers (Bosatsu) for guidance, any human has the ability to raise to the heights of the masters of old. As Yamamoto Tsunetomo said in his classical work the Hagakure:
“It is spiritless to think that you cannot attain that which you have seen and heard the masters obtain. The masters are human. You are also a human. If you think you are inferior in doing something, you will be on that road very soon.”
