Dojo Kun (Training Hall Oath)
In some dojos, the Dojo kun is recited at the end of each training session. Students must learn the dojo kun and have a full understanding of its customs. The training oath is as follows:
- We will train our hearts and bodies for a firm and unshakeable spirit.
- We will pursue the true meaning of the martial way so that in time our senses may be alert.
- With true vigour we will seek to cultivate a spirit of self-denial
- We will observe the rules of courtesy respect our superiors and refrain from violence.
- We will follow our religious principles and never forget the true virtue of humility
- We will look up towards wisdom and strength not seeking other desires
- All our lives through the discipline of karate we will seek to fulfil the true meaning of the Kyokushin way

“Go where he will, the wise man is at home,
His hearth the earth,his hall the azure dome;
Where his clear spirit leads him, theres his road,
By Gods own light illumined and foreshadowed.”
