Philosophy of Martial Arts
Bilis, Lakas at Tapang
I will develop myself in a positive manner and avoid anything that will reduce my mental growth and physical health. I will develop self-discipline in order to bring out the best in myself and in others. I will use what I learn in class constructively and defensively, To help myself and my fellow man and never be abusive or offensive. This is a Black Belt School! We are Dedicated!!! We are Motivated!!! We are on a quest to be our BEST!!!
I come to you with my Empty Hands, But I Fear No Man, I have no Weapons, But should I be forced to defend my principle, My Right or My Honor, Should it be a matter of Life and Death, Right or Wrong, Then here are my Weapons, my Empty Hands. Karate
I will never use my hands or feet with out just cause. I will never accept or challenge anyone to prove my skill. I will avoid all arguments. I will think of the other person's well being if forced to defend myself
The ultimate good lies not in winning a hundred battles, battles but in overcoming an enemy without a, conflict, through Love.
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.
