History: Warrior's Code

All of the students and staff at Destiny Arts Center are encouraged to learn and embrace this philosophy of self-respect, honor and courage. Our Martial Arts programs are meant to serve as courses in self-defense, not aggressive action. Students learn that sometimes the best way to ‘win’ a conflict is to simply walk away from it.

The Warrior’s Code was developed by Kate Hobbs one of the founders and former Executive Director of the Destiny Arts Center.

LOVE
A Warrior is skilled in body and kind in heart.
RESPECT
A Warrior respects her/himself and all living things.
CARE
A Warrior believes that caring for her or himself means caring for our world. RESPONSIBILITY
A Warrior takes responsibility for her or his own actions and makes a superior effort in every situation.
HONOR
A Warrior uses fighting skills honorably only to protect self and loved ones. A warrior never raises a fist in anger.
PEACE
A true Warrior lives by this code and firmly believes that the greatest warrior is the one that stands for peace.
