DOJO KUN


Being calm is important

Always respect each other

Be honest and of right mind

Never lose your temper or use Karate in anger

Never be egotistical or boastful

Don't use your techniques to impress others

We should trust each other

Don't miss the goal or point of Karate: The pursuit of Spirit
