Recite: Precepts for the Mastery of Karate-Do

PRECEPTS FOR THE MASTERY OF KARATE-DO

1.     We are all equal in that we are responsible for our own success or failure.

2.     We cannot reach our full potential unless we overcome our self-imposed limitations.

3.     Some techniques may require you to practice twice as much as the next person to accomplish the same thing.

4.     Do not wait or depend on others to help you improve. Respect people and be grateful for their example, but take charge of your own training.

5.     Develop an open mind as well as a strong body and believe in yourself.

6.     Karate-Do may be referred to as the desire to improve yourself or a life-long marathon race, which can only be won through self-discipline, diligent training, and your own creative efforts.
