Worthy Ryu Jiu Jitsu emblemThe Worthy Ryu Promise

Our Student Creed

As a student of Grandmaster Kenneth Worthy I will respect the values of all existing life.

I will never MISUSE or ABUSE my martial arts skills.

I will be courteous, considerate, and kind to others.

I will strive each and every day to be THE VERY BEST that I can be.

I will say no to drugs and yes to success because I'm on a quest to be my VERY BEST.

For I am number one, I am a student of SUGAR RYU.

USH.

Recited at the start of every class

What It Means

The Values Behind the Words

The creed is more than something we recite — it is how we train and how we live.

Respect

We honor all life — our instructors, our training partners, our families, and ourselves. Respect is the foundation of every technique we learn.

Responsibility

Our skills are a gift and a duty. We never misuse what we learn. We use our training to protect, never to harm.

Discipline

Growth comes through consistent, humble effort. We show up, we listen, and we train with courage and focus.

Character

A champion is measured not by medals but by how they live. We carry the creed into our homes and communities.

Student Reflection

Live the Creed

Ask yourself: How did I show respect, discipline, and courage today — on the mat and off it?
