A karate practitioner must never call upon his strength in a quarrel, speak harshly, act roughly, or become troublesome to others.
A karate practitioner must never bring shame upon himself or his school in ether speech or action.
A karate practitioner must never speak arrogantly, fall into laziness, or act conceitedly. He should endeavor to work diligently at training and improving himself.
