Student Creed
The student creed is a set of rules and guidelines that we expect the students to follow at all times.
1. I will only use martial arts for self-defense.
2. I will always respect my parents, teachers, and elders.
3. I will always treat others the way I would like them to treat me.
4. I will always try my best.
5. I will strive to build a more peaceful world.
Nonviolent Conflict Resolution
Martial arts training improves self-confidence, enforces self-discipline, and self-defense capabilities. The ability to diffuse a potential conflict without violence or to avoid it all together is the ultimate goal. Students are taught how to use mental skills to avoid a confrontation. Information on how to handle bullies and how to avoid being a bully are presented through out the program. Education of this type is becoming extremely important as out society grows more violent.
