Remembering that the Martial Arts begin and end with respect, I intend to:

      • Develop myself in a positive manner, and avoid anything that would reduce my mental growth or physical health

      • Develop self-discipline in order to bring out the best in myself and others

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