Martial Arts Honor Code
Honor is an important part of martial arts history, traditionally defining an individual's overall character. In years past, those most respected were those who fought to defend their honor, the honor of those they care about, and their country. Today, honor is often overlooked and rarely discussed in rooted as the essence of an individual's character. Honor dictates who, what, where, how and why you do anything. Honor reveals a person's true identity. Martial artists live by an "Honor Code," a code of ethics that sets honorable goals to shape our behavior and actions for the better. As students of the martial arts, we encourage you to examine your behavior with this honor code. These are worthwhile goals that each of us should strive for in our lives.The Martial Arts "Honor Code"
