Toshindo Student Creed (Dojo Kun)

I intend to develop myself in a positive manner and avoid anything that would reduce my mental growth or my physical health.

I intend to develop self-discipline in order to bring out the best in myself and others.

I intend to use what I learn in class constructively and defensively: To help myself and my fellow man and never to be abusive or offensive.

Original Kyokushin Creed

We will train our hearts and bodies for a firm unshaking spirit.

We will pursue the true meaning of the Martial Way, so that in time, our senses may be alert.

With true vigour, we will seek to cultivate a spirit of self-denial.

We will observe the rules of coutesy, respect our superiors and refrain from violence.

We will follow our Gods and Buddha and never forget the true virtue of humility.

We will look upwards to wisdom and strength, not seeking other desires.

All our lives, throught the discipline of Karate, we will seek to fulfill the true meaning of the way.
