KYOKUSHINDO OATH
The seven principles that guide every Kyokushindo practitioner on their path to absolute truth. Written by Hanshi Erika Schneider.
We want to bring the body and soul together in harmony.
We want to use diplomatic confrontation.
We want to maintain respect and hold you in high regard.
We want to be vigilant and live on the principles of self defense.
We want to train together without jealousy and mistrust.
We respect every religious faith and never underestimate the value of selflessness.
We want to keep away from violence, and tread closely to the path of absolute truth.
— Written by Hanshi Erika Schneider
