Principles of a Warrior 1. I am above other people, for I have been given an honour to participate in the “White Lotus”, 2. I am a real warrior, I never complain to anyone. 3. I am patient and enduring, I despise comforts and pain. 4. I am strong and tenacious, I am proud of my technique and my body. 5. I am not afraid to pain and bodily punishments, they are good for me. 6. I am firmly convinced, that only my teacher and my tutors can make me into a real man, warrior, super-fighter. 7. In this world I am obeying no one save my teacher and my tutors, their command is a law unto me. 8. My tutors know better what is good for me and what is not. 9. My teacher and my tutors can do everything, and I can do only that which is permitted to me by my teacher and my tutors. 10. Everything, that is [being done] in the name of the teacher and our school, is moral to me. 11. I have but one ideal – the teacher and his commands. 12. The teacher is my only tutor and my only god. 13. Only at the School and only with my teacher I can reach the perfection of body and spirit. |
