Master Black Belt
For those of you who run schools or are instructors, etc. Is the Creed still being taught? Do you require memorization? Is it a part of any test?
When I first started Kenpo, the first day, I walked into the studio (this was back in 1986) and was handed a yellow piece of paper with a picture of the Kenpo crest patch on it and below it was the Kenpo Creed. I was told to memorize it and we later had to recite it on our test for yellow belt. This, before I was taught any moves or anything, made me realize how important my instructor at the time viewed the Creed.
Thanks-
