| The Five Dojo Kun
Senior instructors at the JKA developed the Five Dojo Kun,
which every- one studying at the JKA commits to memory. With each practice session at the dojo, students kneel in the seiza position and repeat these five precepts out loud. This process reminds students of the right attitude, frame of mind and virtues to strive for both within the dojo, and outside. |
