With Honor, we will apply ourselves to the study of Karate, placing foremost the improvement of both mind and body to develop a better understanding of others.
Striving for the ultimate serenity that can only come through a complete understanding of ourselves, we approach life’s problems
with the patience that Karate has given us.
Never will we unjustly dishonor our fellow students, our teachers, the AKKA organization, or the Art of Karate, through misusing the
secrets we are learning.
To this we, the students of AKKA, do Swear.
ASA!
I intend to hold myself to the highest standard of the martial artist.
We are a professional Black Belt organization.
We are motivated. We are dedicated.
We are on a quest to be our best.
ASA!
I intend to develop myself in a positive manner and to avoid anything that would reduce my mental growth or my physical health.
I intend to develop my self-discipline in order to bring out the best in myself and others.
I intend to use what I learn in class constructively and defensively, to help myself and my follow person, and never to be abusive or
offensive.
Asa!
