Conduct Code

This code of conduct was developed twenty five years ago on March 2,1981by the students of Pacific Martial Arts to meet their need for a philosophy behind the training. The students foresaw problems that would develop during training and the need to keep harmony.

To show respect and tolerance for all people

To give and receive criticisms in a positive manner

To accept responsibility for teaching others and to share knowledge of Karate-do

To welcome actively and to assist new students in the dojo

To exhibit a positive personality in the dojo through a clear mind concept and by leaving personal problems, unpleasant moods and emotions outside the dojo

To allow each person a sense of dignity and worth

To have open dialogue between all belt levels and with the instructors

To recognize the symbolisms of the Pacific Martial Arts and to realize that outside conduct and achievements reflect on the whole dojo

To train with consistency and dedication

To avoid speaking negatively of any member or the instructor and to discuss any misunderstandings in a direct, courteous manner with the person involved

To show loyalty to the instructor and the dojo in the same sincere way you will expect to receive loyalty from your future students

To fulfill duties and service to the dojo unselfishly and willingly

The PMA Fight Song

Let's give a cheer for old PMA.
It never falters. It never fails.
Praise our seniors, standing strong,
True in the spirit of our name.
Strength, with kindness,
That is our aim.
We've got the Kiai's
We've got the Fame.
Feel our spirit strong of heart and this is our fighting song,
RAH RAH RAH!!!
The PMA Fight Song was formed many years ago and borrows from several great institutions that used the same music. Among those are some of the great old fraternities of the universities, and particularly the Notre Dame fight song for its football team. PMA students all learn this song early and are able to sing it both fast and spirited but also slow and rather hymnal.
