CODE OF ETHICS

As a martial artist, my fundamental duty is to serve GOD and MANKIND; to safeguard lives and property; to protect the innocent against deception; the weak against oppression or intimidation; the peaceful against violence or disorder; and to respect the Constitutional Rights of all men to liberty, equality, and justice. I promise, I will keep my private life unsullied as an example to all; maintain courageous calm in the face of danger, scorn, or ridicule; develop self-restraint; and be constantly mindful of the welfare of others, honest in thought and deed in my personal life. I will be exemplary in observing the laws of the land and the regulations of Tai Chuan Do Schools, respectful of the other students and instructors.

As a Tai Chuan Do student/instructor, I shall regard the discharge of my training. Recognizing my responsibilities as a trust; I shall study diligently and pay sincere attention to self improvement; shall strive to make the best possible application of science to the art of self-defense; and shall strive for effective leadership and personal happiness
in the field of human relationships. I shall appreciate the importance and responsibility of my rank and training and hold it to the most honorable high standards.

1. Place one end of the belt (End #1) across your back facing your right side at waist height.
2. Wrap the remainder of the belt around your waist clockwise overlapping on top of itself until End #2 comes around the front of your left side.
3. Take End #2, from the bottom, up behind the overlapped belt so that it hangs over diagonally to the right.
4. Reach behind your right side and slide End #1 down and out from under the overlapped belt and pull it around your left side to the front.
5. Rotate the whole belt clockwise on your waist so that End #1 and End #2 are evenly draped from the front center of your waist. (End #2 over the top to the right, End #1 from underneath to the left.)
6. Take End #1 (on the left) and flop it over to the right and lay End #2 (from the right) to the left on top of End #1.
7. Take End #2 and loop it upward through the “hole” created by crossing the belt ends.
8. Grab both ends and tug, tightening the knot. (HINT: As you look down, the right half of the knot will look like a “V” and the left half will look like a “C” wrapped around the point of the “V”.)
