No peer pressure or rude behavior is permitted. Respect for fellow members is important.
Racial predjudice, misogamy and elitist attitudes, etc. are not tolerated.
You must be teachable.
I am very pleased to have a diverse group of people in our class.
We are non-competitive in nature. Those seeking training for personal thrills are not welcome. We are a school devoted to the arts of self-defense and Japanese Budo, NOT harming innocent victims.

THE CODE OF THE DOJO
1. To know that patience comes first.
2. To know that the path of Man comes from justice.
3. To renounce avarice, indolence, and obstinacy.
4. To recognize sadness and worry as natural, and to seek the immovable heart.
5. To not stray from the path of loyalty and brotherly love, and to delve always deeper into the heart of Budo.
