Dojo Kun (道場訓)

    The Dojo Kun (道場訓) is a set of five guiding principles recited in many traditional karate dojos, especially in Shotokan Karate, to instill discipline, respect, and moral character in practitioners.


    Funakoshi’s Dojo Kun (Shotokan Karate)

  1. Hitotsu! Jinkaku kansei ni tsutomuru koto
    一、人格完成に努むること
    Seek perfection of character.

  2. Hitotsu! Makoto no michi o mamoru koto
    一、誠の道を守ること
    Be faithful.

  3. Hitotsu! Doryoku no seishin o yashinau koto
    一、努力の精神を養うこと
    Endeavor (put in maximum effort).

  4. Hitotsu! Reigi o omonzuru koto
    一、礼儀を重んずること
    Respect others.

  5. Hitotsu! Kekki no yū o imashimuru koto
    一、血気の勇を戒むること
    Refrain from violent behavior.


    Meaning and Philosophy:

  • Each principle begins with "Hitotsu" (一, meaning "One") to signify that all are equally important.
  • The Dojo Kun reminds practitioners that karate is not just about physical skill but also about developing good character and discipline in everyday life.
