Code of conduct
The Ryu Ju Jutsu Association places great emphasis on the development of the character of its students, and a code of behaviour is used, together with the physical training, so that technical skill, physical fitness and good behaviour become synonymous with Ryu Ju Jutsu.
The code is based on mutual respect of Teachers and Students for jujutsu, and acknowledges that respect must be shown for seniority.
Practitioners of Ryu Ju Jutsu are expected to show the same respect for the society in which they live, and for those who live in and administer that society.
It is a source of great satisfaction that English jujutsu has earned a reputation for world-class teachers and competitors.
All Ryu Ju Jutsu students have a duty to behave in a way that will maintain and enhance this reputation on behalf of their club and their Association.
We hold, as an ideal, one of Gichin Funakoshi's quotes
‘The ultimate aim of the art of karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of the characters of its participants.’
