Traditional Training and Philosophies

American Kang Duk Won Creed

I stand before you empty handed

My weapons are my mind and body

Shall I be forced to defend

I will abide by the code

Using only the necessary force

to counter the opposing force

Be it necessary. Here then are my weapons

My mind and body

"I have come to realize that there is only a beginning to karate training; there is no end. Because it is an individual art, each student trains at his own pace, based on age, physical condition or limitations. There is no pressure to perform as there is in team sports. It is for this reason that American Kang Duk Won is for all people."
