The Karate creed

Student Creed
I intend to develop myself in a positive manner and avoid anything that will reduce my mental growth or physical health. I intend to develop 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 never to be abusive or offensive.
