I love my Country
I love and respect my parents and guardians
I respect our karate-do traditions
I respect my teachers and karate instructors
I will use what I learn to defend myself and never to hurt others, at home, at school or at karate class
We are a black belt school!
We are motivated!
We are dedicated!
We're on a quest to be our best!
SHORIN!

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

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 or my fellow man, and never to be abusive or offensive.

We are a Black Belt school!
We are motivated!
We are dedicated!
We're on a quest to be our best!
SHORIN!

I Will Train My Heart And Body For A Firm, Unshaking Spirit
I Will Pursue the Meaning of Karate-Do
I Will Follow God, and Never Forget the True Virtue of Humility.
I Will Observe The Rules Of Courtesy, Respect My Superiors, And Refrain From Violence.
I Will Look Upwards To Wisdom and Strive For Inner Strength
All Of My Life, Through The Discipline Of Karate, I Will Seek To Fulfill The True Meaning Of Peace.

I Will Never Use My Hands Or Feet Without Just Cause.
I Will Never Accept Or Challenge Anyone To Prove My Skill.
I Will Avoid All Arguments.
I Will Think Of The Other Persons Well Being If Forced To Defend Myself.

I Come To You with Only Karate - Empty Hands
I Have No Weapons,
But Should I Be Forced To Defend Myself,
My Principles, My Honour or My Family,
Should It Be A Matter of Life or Death, or Right or Wrong,
Then Here Are My Weapons, Karate, My Empty Hands.

The Ultimate Good Lies Not In Winning A Hundred Battles,
But In Overcoming an Enemy Without A
Conflict, Through
Love.

I’m a dedicated student of the Martial Arts.
I will live by the Black Belt Principles.
Modesty: Being proud of your accomplishments but not boastful. Able to do well but not act superior to others.
Courtesy: Having respect for other people’s feelings, helping someone out, not laughing at others’ mistakes, being polite.
Integrity: Being a person that others can trust, rely on and count on at all times.
Perseverance: To keep on going even when you feel like quitting, to keep on trying to do your best.
Self-Control: Having the courage to walk away from someone who is trying to make you lose your temper, but also not doing anything that is unhealthy for you.
Indomitable Spirit: Not discouraged or defeated easily. Willing to say “I know I can.” Having the spirit, courage, and determination meeting new challenges head on.
