"ShuHaRi" can be translated as “to keep, to fall, to break away”.

• Shu (守) “protect”, “obey”—traditional wisdom—learning fundamentals, techniques, heuristics, proverbs.
• Ha (破) “detach”, “digress”—breaking with tradition—detachment from the illusions of self.
• Ri (離) “leave”, “separate”—transcendence—there are no techniques or proverbs, all moves are natural, becoming one with spirit alone without clinging to forms; transcending the physical.
