The Five L's

[Rob_Broad]

Who have heard of the 5 L's

Love of the Art
Logic of the Art
Loyalty to yourself
Loyalty to your school
Loyalty to your instructor

All the way up through the ranks I heard this and it was sked of every new yellow belt class as they were tested, until it became ingrained into their way of thinking. I myslef adopted it and continue to use it to this day.

But there are way more than 5

Those are the five primary ones that are taught to the white belts working on their yellow belt material, I would love to "L"earn more of them.

I have these 5, but it was never mentioned at my school.
Although, I tried my best to find a school where they'd apply
easily.

Usually only the Loyal to your school one. I like the 5 though, I think I'll try to get them posted at the school.

I like those 5 also I was brought up through the ranks with the tenets of Tae Kwon-Do and the student oath evry class was begun by reciting these:

Tenets of TKD

Courtesy
Integrity
Perseverance
Self Control
Indomitable Spirit



Student Oath

I shall observe the tenets of TKD
I Sahll respect my instructors and seniors
I shall never misuse TKD
I shall be a champion of Freedom and Justice
I shall build a more peaceful world

I never saw or heard any of that kind of thing in the Tracy's system. Are oaths etc. common in most of the other systems?

 

[Goldendragon7]
