Guiding principles

1. When asking to be taught, be submissive  and free from prejudice, accept the  teachings as shown, in this way you will not establish your own peculiarities or bad habits. 2. Be polite and obedient to the master and other superiors. Be courteous among fellow students and followers. You must strive to develop humbleness. 3. Cultivate a spirit of perseverance. You will develop a healthy body if you have strength of mind and train fearlessly. 4. Strive to be a warrior for the construction of a peaceful and free world by using the character-building morality and spirituality contained in the way of karate. 5. In daily conduct do not encourage fights  or arguments.

Guiding Principles:These ten principles guide us in our lives as karateka, both in the dojo, and our lives outside in the world. The principles are just that, principles, they guide the way we live and in all things we do. They guide us along a good path. The Guiding Principles for the United Ryukyu Kempo Alliance are as follows:

6. Move from easy to difficult and from simple to complicated. More time is required to train longer and harder as you progress. Do not hurry or engage in senseless or reckless practice. Develop gradually. 7. Become familiar with the use of makiwara and other training equipment. Train yourself to use your fists, body, and positions. Be patient and study earnestly the kata and matches. Do not aim for hurried success. 8. In the past a single kata was studied for three years, a long time ago a particular master Analysed a kata for over 10 years. Do not think you have mastered a kata and become proud of your success, pride will lead to hurt your achievement in both virtue and technique, thus pride can be like a poison to the world. 9.  Take care not to develop only your favourite techniques neglecting others because this will leave a weakness in your defence. Be cautious not to become too theoretical or technical because these too are weaknesses. 10. Ask questions freely of the master and other superiors, because you must strive to understand what you are learning.
