Aim
With the emphasis on safety, the aim of the program is to promote citizenship, respect, moral restraint, and youth development. The achievable benefits of this study will result in enhancing youth self-confidence, self-discipline, and self-esteem with humility. With a positive image as a self-reliant individual, the adolescent need not resort, as a weaker person, to artificial image-boosters like drugs, alcohol, gang involvement, criminal activity or many other vices available to young people today.
Progress in any endeavor requires work and determination. Through Martial Arts training youth and adults can learn to cope with realistic hard challenges in life and move forward with perseverance and a calm attitude instead of a defeatist mentality.
Guidelines
Martial Arts, like many strenuous sports, has a risk factor, but is considered to be relatively safe with proper supervision and instruction. It is, therefore, understandable that control and decorum be positively adhered to at all times. Practice begins and ends with courtesy. In the time-honored oriental tradition, inappropriate actions such as: disruptive behavior, profanity, disrespect for parents, instructors or fellow students, failure to satisfy community school homework assignments, and the use of techniques learned in the Dojo and used outside in an unauthorized aggessive manner are subject to student suspension or dismissal at the discretion of the instructor.
Work hard, enjoy what you are doing, and keep balance in life!
