OPENING CREED
I COME TO YOU WITH ONLY KARATE, EMPTY HANDS. I HAVE NO WEAPONS.
BUT SHOULD I BE FORCED TO DEFEND MYSELF, MY PRINCIPLES OR MY HONOR.......
SHOULD IT BE A MATTER OF LIFE OR DEATH, RIGHT OR WRONG…….
THEN HERE ARE MY WEAPONS, KARATE. EMPTY HANDS.
“NI SANTE NASHI”
CLOSING CREED
I WILL DEVEOP MYSELF IN A POSITIVE MANNER.
I WILL AVOID ANYTHING THAT WILL REDUCE MY MENTAL GROWTH OR PHYSICAL HEALTH.
I WILL DEVELOP SELF DISCIPLINE, IN ORDER TO BRING OUT THE BEST IN MYSELF AND OTHERS.
I WILL USE COMMON SENSE BEFORE SELF DEFENSE AND NEVER BE ABUSIVE OR OFFENSIVE.
WE ARE A
WE ARE DEDICATED! WE ARE MOTIVTED!
WE ARE ON A QUEST TO BE OUR BEST!
TEST CREED
I STAND HERE TODAY, READY TO TEST MY SKILLS, MY ENDURANCE, MY PERSEVERANCE
AND MY KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT I, TO THIS DAY HAVE LEARNED.
I AM HERE TO PROVE TO MY INSTRUCTORS, MY PEERS AND FOREMOST TO MYSELF,
THAT I AM INDEED READY TO ENBRACE MORE KNOWLEDGE AND ENHANCE
WHAT I SO HUMBLY HAVE ALREADY ABSORBED.
I CONFIDENTLY ACCEPT AND WILL OVERCOME THIS CHALLENGE
WITH DETERMINATION, VIGILANCE AND AN OPEN MIND.
