Dojo Etiquette
Students should make every effort to attend classes on time and train regularly to attain a high degree of knowledge.

Upon entering or leaving the dojo, all karateka must bow. This shows respect and good manners. Additionally, never walk on any training or contest area while wearing shoes.

Any student wishing to leave the dojo or lesson for any reason should ask the senior instructor for permission; the student must not simply drop out or walk off.

Any student who arrives after training has commenced or leaves before training has finished shall perform a full kneeling bow at the edge of the dojo.

Rings, earrings, or any other jewellery must be removed before training begins, to prevent injury to themselves or other students.

Smoking, swearing, and chewing in the dojo are strictly forbidden at all times.

Students should keep their gi clean and well-pressed. A full gi is to be worn at all times during training. No unnecessary talking or running about is permitted during training.

When demonstrating for or upon receiving instruction from the instructor, students shall acknowledge with a standing bow and say "Hai." All commands must be carried out quickly.

When training with a partner, self-discipline, mutual trust, and respect for one's partner are essential for self-practice.

Do not be afraid to ask questions of your instructor or senior grade.

Students must not misuse their karate knowledge to show off.
