Karate Pledge of Honor (Kenpo Creed)

With honor, we apply ourselves to the study of Karate, placing foremost the improvement of both mind and body, in order to develop a better understanding of our fellow man.

Striving for an ultimate serenity that can only come through a complete understanding of ourselves. We approach life’s problems with the patience Karate has given us.

Never will we unjustly dishonor our fellow students, our teachers, the AKKA organization, or the art of Karate, through misusing the secrets we are learning. To this, we the students ofAKKA do swear.

 

Student Creed

I intend to develop myself in a positive manner and to avoid anything that would reduce my mental growth or my physical health.

I intend to develop my self-discipline in order to bring out the best in myself and others.

I intend to use what I learn in class constructively and defensively to help myself and my fellow man, and to never be abusive or offensive.
