Student Creed

I must develop myself in a positive manner and avoid anything that could reduce my mental growth or physical health

I must develop self-discipline in order to bring out the best in myself and others.

I must use common sense before self-defense and never be abusive or offensive.

This is a black belt school. We are dedicated, we are motivated - we are on a quest to be our best.
