Junomichi Charter

Practise JUNOMICHI diligently and regularly, without interruption, and not to abandon its practice, except in cases of force majeure or for a reason justified by the practitioner’s own conscience.
Avoid any practice that is dangerous to oneself or to partners, both in the form and substance of techniques.
Replace any inclination towards aggression (in randori or combat) with a sincere desire to achieve effectiveness for oneself, not in comparison to one’s partner.
Promote and spread the knowledge of JUNOMICHI, sharing its form and deep purpose, as originally envisioned by Master JIGORO KANO.
Accept the form proposed by one’s instructors with a spirit of personal research shared with other practitioners, driven by a desire for mutual progress.
Practise with pleasure and joy, taking satisfaction in self-improvement, and viewing this practice as an art, an educational game, and a means of physical and moral health.
This charter should be considered a commitment of honour, in one’s soul and conscience, towards the organisation, the individuals, and the practice of JUNOMICHI.
