Any tips and hints? I wanna learn how to say it in Japanese and memorize it. Anyone here can post how to pronounce it properly word for word which I can then memorize. Somehow I have the English version down and just also wanna learn the Japanese version. Please help.

I'm lucky enough to have a friend who's Japanese, and speaks natively. If you don't have a resource like that, maybe try YouTube?

Here is the dojo kun as shown on the official website in Japanese.

Hitotsu, ware ware wa shinshin o renma shi, kakkofubatsu no shingi o kiwameru koto

Hitotsu, ware ware wa bu no shinzui o kiwame, ki ni hasshikan ni bin naru koto.

Hitotsu, ware ware wa shitsujitsugou ken o motte, jiko no seshin o kanyou suru koto.

Hitotsu, ware ware wa reisetsu o omonji, choujou o keishisobou no furumai o tsutsushimu koto

Hitotsu, ware ware wa shinbutsu o toutobi, kenjou no bitoku o wasurezaru koto

Hitotsu, ware ware wa chisei to tairyokuto o koujou sase, koto ni no zon de ayamatazaru koto

Hitotsu, ware ware wa, shougai no shugyou o karate no michi ni tsuuji, kyokushin no michi o mattou suru koto.


Instructions on how to correctly pronounce Japanese can easily be found on YouTube. Listening and repeating will help but here is a rough guide

"F" is a sound between "f" and "h" in English.
"R" is approximately between an English "L" and "R"
"A" as in "father"
"E" as in "elephant"
"I" as in "ee" in "meet" but shorter sound
"O" as in "old"
"U" is like the "oo" in "boo" but slightly shorter

These are just approximations based on English sounds. The actual pronunciation should be learned by copying acutal speakers.

Good luck

I've visited some Shinyo-en Buddhist gatherings (called Winter Trainings) years ago. The words above remind me of the chants.

Thank you!!

But would you be able to make it a bit easier, by giving exact pronunciation of each word? Just wondering.

The only thing possible to do in writing is a rough approximation based on English pronunciation. Getting the exact pronunciation and rythm of spoken language requires hearing it, listening and repeating.

Yeah, which is a good tool to help with hearing and repeating.
Kinda hard to just listen so fast.

If you're using Chrome, you can slow YouTube videos down through the settings (gear) button.
