Karate is not a game or just a sport. First and foremost, it's a martial art and it should be treated as such. It's a way of life, with an ethical code, it's used for defence, for perfecting one's spirit and character. Dojo kun is guided by the four principal values:
1. Perfection of character
2. Loyalty
3. Sincerity
4. Etiquette
5. Self-control
