Dojo Code
Student Resources
Discipline. Respect. Practice.
As part of your karate training for adults, kids and families, understanding the values behind martial arts is just as important as learning the techniques. At the end of each class, we recite the Dojo Code—a reminder of the mindset we bring into the dojo and carry with us beyond it.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced student, you may be asked to lead the class in reciting the code. If chosen, be sure to speak clearly, with focus and spirit, pausing after each line so the rest of the class can repeat together.
Learning and living by this code is a key part of what makes karate training for adults such a powerful and enriching journey.
