Dojo Kun
The Dojo Kun is best described as the Dojo Oath which is recited by all students at the end of every training session.
Here are the words of the Dojo Kun.
1. We will train our hearts and bodies for a firm unshaking spirit.
2. We will persue the true meaning of the martial way so that in time our senses may be alert.
3. With true vigour we will seek to cultivate a spirit of self denial.
4. We will observe the rules of courtesy, respect our superiors and refrain from violence.
5. We will follow our god or buddha and never forget the true virtue of humility.
6. We will look upwards to wisdom and strength, not seeking other desires.
7. All our lives, through the discipline of karate, we will seek to fullfill the true meaning of the kyokushin way.
