A wise man once, in essence, said that without honor the martial arts is just kicking and punching. At the Kenshin karate School we emphasize that our students must address all aspects of their personal growth: the mind, the body, and the spirit. By reciting the Student Creed prior to each and every class, we affirm our commitment to developing and strengthening the moral character of each of our students - reinforcing the positive values taught at home, at school, and within the community. The result is a student body that represents the very best achievers in their pursuit of black belt excellence.

I intend to develop myself in a positive manner and avoid anything that would reduce my mental growth or my physical health.

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

I intend to use what I learn in class constructively and defensively: to help myself and my fellow man and never to be abusive or offensive.
