K E N P O C R E E D
I come to you with only, Karate, empty hands. I have no
weapons, but should I be forced to defend myself, my
principals, or my honor, should it be life or death,
right or wrong, then here are my weapons, Karate, my
empty hands.
K E N P O C O D E
I will strive to be as a Tiger; strong and confident. I
will strive to be as a Dragon; prudent and humble. I
will respect what has come before and follow it's
teachings, as I become a leader with courage to
challenge tradition. Through the discipline of MIND,
BODY, & SPIRIT, I will strive for wisdom and justice,
raising a shield of honor for myself and the art of
Kenpo Karate.
S T U D E N T S C R E E D
I will solemnly pledge to use the art of Kenpo solely
for the purpose of defense, never for purpose of
aggression. I will treat with respect both my teachers
and fellow students. I will strive to learn an attitude
of respect for the teaching of Kenpo and an
understanding of the responsibility that knowledge of
Kenpo entails. I will never use Kenpo for harmful or
destructive ends. I make these promises solemnly and on
my honor.
