Always stay focused on what you’re doing. Develop a positive training attitude and practice diligently.
Don’t put yourself in the spotlight. Don’t boast about your success or exaggerate. Look up to those who are better than you, and not down on those who haven’t reached your level yet.
Have the courage to face challenges — in randori, in competition, and in life. Never give up, not even when facing an imminent defeat or a seemingly overwhelming opponent.
Always be honest and fight fairly, without unsportsmanlike actions or hidden motives.
Always be helpful to others: support younger or less experienced training partners. Help them learn techniques correctly and find their way in the group.
Always be punctual and disciplined — in training, in competition, and in life. Never lose your self-control on the mat, not even in situations that may seem unfair to you.
Acknowledge the achievements of others when they make a sincere effort according to their abilities.
Treat your training partners, opponents, and fellow people as friends. Show your respect to every judoka through a proper bow.
Treat everyone with respect. Always be polite to your teachers and judo friends, and recognize the achievements of others.
