"The Dojo Kun" is the Oath of the karate student. It is recited at the end of each lesson at the Headquarters of the Japan Karate Association. This Oath should be chanted with strength, never mumbled in insincerity. The truths of the oath should penetrate the mind of the participant. The "Dojo Kun" embodies all we are trying to achieve through the physical efforts of karate training.
