WE WERE FOUNDED ON THE FOLLOWING PRINCIPLES:

1. That fighting is never acceptable.
2. Students need to be treated with respect.
3. We are responsible to God for everything we do and teach.
4. We will pass on moral and Christian principles that the students may build their lives on.
5. Improper behaviour and poor attitudes must be dealt with.
6. Students are expected to give a maximum effort according to ones abilities.
7. The instructor is responsible for the
   behaviour of the students while in the dojo.
8. The students must have access to the intructor either before or after class - they are our first priority.
9. That Karate is in itself an art, and not a stepping stone to achieving power or admiration.
10. When a student has received Karate training
    they will have more discipline and self control
    than when they began.
