Miyazato Sensei was a humble man who inspired loyalty in his students. Like may of his peers. he had a low opinion of sports karate and saw that winning competitions or getting a higher grade were only the surface of karate and did not reflect the depth of traditional karate which required lifelong training.

While a leading exponent of the art, he believed in the value of family and work and believed that karate should only be secondary to these.
