Dojo Precepts for Cougar Kendo
Borrowed from the Chiba Dojo.
1. Manners are first. Those who study Kendo must always have proper mind, arrange their clothing neatly, value discipline, and maintain proper etiquette.
2. Respect your dojomates. Respect your sensei and sempai and follow their teachings well. Also, care for your kohai and lead them well. Be a good example in everything you undertake.
3. Work hard. The dojo is a place for studying waza, polishing the mind, and training the body. Great effort brings great results; mediocre effort breeds mediocrity.
