TAI
SHI KAI WADO-RYU KARATE
OUR
VALUES & STANDARDS
only for our martial
arts but for everyone we come into contact
with. Always be
polite and considerate to others. Remember that
no-one likes to
be offended.
2. HONESTY: Be honest and truthful to one another. Encourage
honesty in others.
With honesty truth prevails. Cherish both
fervently.
3. COMMITMENT:
Dedication to improving your life and the lives
of those around
you by giving 100% always, whatever your
endeavour. Commitment
and obligation are their own reward.
4. LOYALTY: Give loyalty your art, your teachers, your peers
and
your dojo. Loyalty
helps create a bond and a sense of belonging.
Loyalty helps strengthen one’s resolve.
5. INTEGRITY: To
offer assurance and reliability to those
who follow. Upholding
the strong moral fibre that binds us as a
family and giving
meaning to what we aspire to achieve. Always
striving to do
one’s best.
6. FRIENDSHIP:
Friendships and camaraderie are formed when
mutual admiration and sincerity merge.
True friendships are
forged and strengthened
when trust becomes part of that merger.
7. PROFESSIONALISM:
A value one should apply to all aspects of
life. Not just
certificates but the quality, skill and effort to teach at
the highest standards
always and the ability to understand the
different needs
and desires of those you teach to enable them to
reach their full
potential.
8. COOPERATION & TEAMWORK:
Working together in
harmony to produce a positive outcome
for all members, not just
the individual.
Helping each other grow by sharing and caring and
being mindful of
each others views.
9. CONFIDENCE: Helping each student build self esteem and a
positive sense
of pride in their accomplishments. Using the
students energy
and determination to help build and mould their
character without
an end result of egotism and self importance.
10. SUCCESS: True success is the end result of hard work.
Having
the passion and
desire is fine but it’s through the blood sweat
and tears and the
years of pounding the boards that will get us the
results that we
seek. Having aspirations and setting goals, working
hard with your
teachers and peers is when you finally realize what
is essential in
achieving those goals. Remember, that which is not
earned is never
really appreciated. Striving to do our best and
always putting
in 100% effort will lead you to a happy and
harmonious lifestyle.
Never give in.
Together,
we at Tai Shi Kai are committed to providing quality Karate training and genuine
friendship to everyone who enters our dojos.
