Martial arts are probably some of the most disciplined sports. And this is not achieved by imposing harsh rules, but because there is a code of moral conduct and ethics, passed on by the teacher to his students. The rules of the code are not applicable only in sports, but also in the everyday life, contributing to the creation of a strong and reliable character.
