iKi Values

iKi is aimed at those in our society who want to I.M.P.R.O.V.E -
"Improve mentally and physically, to experience romance, enjoy opportunity, maintain values and achieve excitement."

To help facilitate this personal and social growth within a community, iKi uses guidelines we call the iKi Principles and the iKi Pledge...

iKi Principles

Principle 1: Looks Listen and Learn.
If you look and listen to your teacher, friend or parent, you will always learn more quickly. Additionally it shows respect.

Principle 2: I'm OK, You're OK.
Every one likes to be treated with respect. If we treat others with respect, they will mostly reciprocate, and treat us that way in turn. Put simply, the second iKi Principle is;- Treat others the way you wish to be treated.

Principle 3: No Play, No Play.
If you don't choose to abide by the above principles (or rules) you will be excluded from the game. This makes it safe, fair and fun for everyone.

We summarise the third iKi Principle as :- If you won't play by the rules, you will be excluded from the the game.

Principle 4: Eat well, Live well.
Getting enough food isn't an issue for most people in our country. Eating healthy food can be a challenge however. iKi helps with simple, achievable guidelines for this

The iKi Pledge

iKi Values encompass individual, family and community ideals. They are based on the values of most nations, communities, sporting teams, educational organisations, schools and so on. The difference is that the iKi Program provides a form of presenting them which is instantly adaptable to any situation.

An example of an iKi pledge:
“I Pledge to be the best I can be, Happy, healthy and strong A good member of my family, And a Contributing member of the community.”

Community

A large part of Self Reliance comes from feeling that we are a part of a strong community. By always applying the Principles and Pledge the classes are safe and fun for everyone. An extension of the community ethic is the provision of an ‘online community' for iKi Instructors and iKi students. Instructors and students can preview new tracks and techniques for the iKi program. Additionally you can participate in newsgroups of your peers to discuss challenges and insightful methods of getting better results.
