Student Creeds

1. I will develop myself in a positive manner and avoid anything that would reduce my mental growth or my physical health.
2. I will develop self-discipline in order to bring out the best in myself and others.
3. I will use what I learn in class constructively and defensively, to help myself and my fellow man, and never to be abusive or offensive.
4. The ultimate aim of karate lies not in victory or defeat but in the perfection of the character of its participants.^*
