COURTESY. Aikido begins and ends with courtesy. A Shuseikan Aikidoka bows toward the picture of Morihei Ueshiba O’ Sensei every time he enters and gets out of the dojo. He bows toward the instructor every time he steps in and out of the mat. He bows toward his partner before and after they perform a technique or demonstration. Students give respect to the instructor by calling him Sensei. In general, every member calls each other brother or sister.

HONOR. A Shuseikan Aikidoka respects proper authority. He does not violate the law and should observe proper conduct and good manners at all times. He is ready to defend himself against any action aimed to dishonor his art, his club, and himself. In cases of misconduct, the Founder and his appointed officers will conduct an investigation to decide which disciplinary action should be meted to the offending member.

BENEVOLENCE. A Shuseikan Aikidoka never ceases to do anything good and beneficial to his fellow members and his fellowmen. The world is full of iniquities; he takes every opportunity to do something good.

WISDOM. A Shuseikan Aikidoka believes that wisdom can be derived from experience in life. There is nothing in this world that can not teach us. The birds, the trees and every thing in this world send a very special message to anyone who would just listen and understand the purpose of their existence.

SINCERITY. A Shuseikan Aikidoka is genuine and honest, free from hypocrisy. He considers his word as his promise and keeps it.

LOYALTY. A Shuseikan Aikidoka is loyal to his club and to his art. True loyalty is loyalty to the association and to the good of the majority of its members, not to just one single person.

PIETY. A Shuseikan Aikidoka believes in God and the role of Divine Providence in all its undertakings. He respects the belief of others and does not do anything to offend their faith.
