CHAN WUSHU CREED

Chan Wushu is a way of life, the giving of knowledge to become a better person.
This system is my path to becoming complete with myself
and to prosper in health and knowledge.

I am not here to learn how to fight.
I am here to learn:
    Self-Defense, Self- Respect
    Self-Reliance, Self- Discipline
    Self-Control.
I will not let any person change my path.
I have chosen the right path
and shall maintain it throughout my life.

If I change my path for any reason,
I shall shame myself and my master.
Let the candle burn forever.
This is the Shaolin Way.
