OFCC Customs

Cleanliness

At OFCC, we strive for cleanliness of the mind, body, and spirit. We expect that our students refrain from profuse language when joining us for class. Students must have clean uniforms, with cut and clean finger and tow nails.

Concentration

Full mental focus is a must when it comes to martial arts training. There are many things to look at, however, it is expected that students focus on what the teacher is teaching so that the student can receive the most benefit.

Humility

We trust that our students will learn to have a servant's heart. Being considerate of the needs of others as well as your own is a great way to start.

Respect

Treat instructors and seniors with respect. Always address your teacher with sir or ma'am. Treat others with the same respect as you treat those at OFCC.

"Talk if you will, walk away if you can, run if you must. If all else fails, defend yourself."

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My Heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.
