Five Tenets of Wilde Lake Karate/taekwondo

Is giving a bow, to Black Belts and instructors who show you how, it’s doing your chores before being asked and being helpful in every class. It’s a simple word like “thank-you” and “please”, and never-no-never to hurt or to tease.

It the simple rule of being honest at home and in school. It’s never cheating when taking a test or thinking you’re better than all of the rest. To lie or to steal just wouldn’t be right, so try to be honest with all of your might.

It tells the heart you’re going to finish the things that you start. It’s refusing to quit when the going gets tough or starting to cry when sparring gets rough. it’s not giving up on the board you must break, no matter how many tries it may take.

State a simple fact, you should always think before you act. It’s standing in class, not a muscle you twitch, even if only to scratch an itch. It’s counting to ten when things make you mad – then walking away because fighting is bad.

It not showing fear or running away when trouble is near. It’s knowing in life there are some risks you must take, and along with the way some mistakes you may make. It’s standing up proudly and thinking with glee – I’m OK! I can do it! I believe in me!
