My Karate Creed

I COME TO YOU WITH ONLY KARATE; MY EMPTY HANDS.

I AM A LAW ABIDING CITIZEN.

AT NO TIME SHALL I EVER USE THE TECHNIQUES
TAUGHT TO ME IN A MANNER THAT WILL INFLICT
PERSONAL INJURY.

NOR WILL I BODILY HARM ANYONE EXCEPT IN CASES
OF EMERGENCY NEEDS WHEREBY MY HONOR, LIFE,
COUNTRY OR THE LIVES AND PHYSICAL SAFETY OF
OTHERS MAY DEPEND UPON MY KNOWLEDGE AND
APPLICATION OF THESE TECHNIQUES.

THIS IS MY CREED…KARATE
