Purple Belt Pledge
I hold the art of Kenpo sacred and freely take upon myself the obligation and responsibility that I shall never misuse my skill to hurt or make afraid. I shall fight only if forced to defend myself and shall be slow to anger, loath to take offence, quick to forgive, and to forget personal affront.
Parker Ed, (1987), Infinite Insights into Kenpo Vol 5, Delsby Publications Los Angeles
