I will develop myself in a positive manner, both mentally and physically.

I will develop positive life skills in order to bring out the best in myself and others.

I will never use Martial Arts to abuse or offend anyone.

Principles of Black Belt

As a dedicated student of the Martial Arts, I will live by the Principles of Black Belt:

Courtesy

Humility

Integrity

Self-Control

Perseverance

Indomitable Spirit

The Student Creed was developed by the Master Instructors of Pecoraro’s Academy of Martial Arts to be recited before every Konsei Martial Arts class and rank promotion. The purpose of the student creed is to set the tone for each class and to create the correct perspective for training.

The Principles of Black Belt are recited before every Kickboxing class. This helps to ensure that all dedicated members become just and virtuous martial artists who never use their skills recklessly.
