Never be discourteous

In the way of the warrior, courtesy isn’t just a bunch of friendly gestures or good manners. It’s actually a virtue that has really strong ties to a respect for other people, even your enemies.

Above all, courtesy is respect and considerateness for the other person, no matter the circumstances. That means never being cruel, or making unnecessary shows of power or strength. It’s a virtue that shows character and a lot of internal strength.
