The Dojo Kun
|
|
|
The Dojo kun is a verbal affirmation that is recited by all of the
students at the end of each training session. The purpose of the Dojo Kun is to
remind all students in the dojo, regardless of rank, that the physical,
mental and spiritual growth that they enjoy as a by-product of their karate
training must extend beyond the dojo walls. By this is meant, in order to
derive the true benefits of Shotokan Karate-Do, each student must take the
underlying principles of this art form and make them a part of their
daily life. Want to read and hear the Dojo Kun?
