    Wado Ryu Karate

    The Way Of Peace and Harmony


    THE WADO PLEDGE
    Karate begins with courtesy, disciplines the mind, body and spirit, builds character, promotes respect, ends with courtesy, and leads to Wa No-Michi. (the way of Peace)

    For those of us truly devoted to the study and art of Wado, these words and those that follow, are much more than just words. They form the core of reasoning and foundation of attitudes; not merely as karateka, but as responsible citizens of our world, and compassionate human beings. They are -- in truth, our Code of Conduct -- our Way of Life.

    The Dojo Kun


    Mokuteki (Moh-koo-teh-kee) - Purpose
    The purpose of the Wado system of karate, the International Wado Ryu Karatedo Renmei, The All Japan Karatedo Federation, and at any Dojo affiliated with these bodies, is to teach the Japanese Martial Arts, their spiritual attitudes, traditions and culture.

    Sonkei (Sohn-kayee) - Reverence


    Revere that which is Holy. Honor your Father and Mother. Respect your elders and other person's property and rights.

    Kansha (Kahn-shah) - Thankfulness


    Be thankful for all things; your life, friendships and love. Gratefulness will bring happiness.

    Shuyo (Shoo-yoh) - Discipline


    Discipline your mind and body so that you have absolute control over both. Only a disciplined person can attain his or her goals in life.

    Makota (Mah-koh-tah) - Sincerity


    A person's character will be judged by their sincerity and integrity. Only one who is sincere should be worthy of your friendship and trust.

    Toitsu (Tohee-dzoo) - Unity


    Unity of one's mind, body and spirit in all endeavors are essential to one's success. Concentrate on one thing at a given time.
