RESPECT, students learn that if you treat others with respect and dignity, they in turn will do the same for them. Learning the value of respect eliminates personal conflict and potential fights.
RESPONSIBILITY, every child is required to fulfil certain obligations both. If they are to progress in rank towards the ultimate destiny of Black Belt, they must memorize and be able to perform prearranged fighting sequences called forms and self defence moves. At home they are encouraged to do at least one good deed a week for their parents, who have made sacrifices for them.
SELF CONTROL in one's actions is stressed over and over. As a matter of fact, the children must repeat this phrase as part of the oath they say before leaving the class. If we teach a child to perform techniques that are potentially dangerous, we must also teach them when it is appropriate to use them. We stress that our techniques are to be used in Street Defence only to the extent that we stop aggressive behaviour and not become the aggressor ourselves.
