Salutation

The scholar leads the warrior forward into battle.

I show I come prepared and ready to fight with all that I have.

The scholar and the warrior – side by side, back to back.

I show I have no weapons.

I pull away from the fight, for it is not my purpose to fight.

I clear the air of all negative thoughts, hoping to divert the fight.

I use my universal strength: the body, mind and spirit united.

I keep my sacred Art of Kenpo to myself.

I pray I’ll never have to use it.

Embrace the world with brotherly love.

Respectful to all.
