Yesterday I had a very interesting discussion with the senior ranks of my dojo here in Grenoble. Surprisingly no one of them have ever heard about DOJO KUN! I am not talking about remembering it japanese, about knowing the translation or explanation. No! Ignorance about the art. I am disappointed again and this time even deeper than before. So, I am going to make sure I remember the japanese way of pronouncing it (not only the meaning). It is my fault of not remembering it (I was taught before and I knew it but stopped practicing it). I feel responsibility lying on the shoulder of each and any karateka to remember and understand it and more to pass this tradition and knowledge further.
