**THE CHUNJIDO OATH AND WHAT IT REPRESENTS**
The art of CHUNJIDO is more than a system of techniques—it’s a way of training the whole person. Like the oath displayed on the scroll, ChunJiDo calls practitioners to develop knowledge of the mind, strength of the body, and the honor and integrity of the heart. Every class becomes a refining fire: discipline is forged through repetition, perseverance is proven through challenge, and confidence is earned—not given. In that process, students learn that true skill isn’t measured only by power or speed, but by clarity, composure, and the willingness to keep improving when no one is watching.
Within the ChunJiDo organization, the tenets of respect and honor are lived daily. Respect shows up in how students listen, how they treat training partners, and how they carry themselves in and out of the dojo—humble in victory, steady in defeat, and grateful for instruction. Honor is upheld by choosing what is right even when it’s difficult: obeying instructors, supporting fellow students, and never allowing actions to bring dishonor to the association, the instructors, or oneself. In ChunJiDo, character is not separate from training—it is the training—so that every practitioner strives to become not only more capable, but also more trustworthy, more disciplined, and more worthy of the art they represent.
