Be polite, patient, alert, brave, respectful, and do your best. These are the six principals that instructors at American Masters Martial Arts teach to every student who comes through the door. Each class begins with a recitation of these principals before meditation. This instills a sense of purpose and discipline in each pupil, which is as crucial to the instructors as the self-defence techniques they teach during classes.
