Dojo etiquette
Respect is an essential part of our training.
Respect is demonstrated by:-
- Bowing
when entering and leaving the dojo, making sure you are facing
inwards towards the dojo when you do so.
- Remaining
silent in the line when the Instructor is teaching, so as
not to distract the other students.
- Turn
up on time for classes.
- Pay
attention at all times to your Instructor and always give 100%.
- Keep
a tidy appearance i.e. a clean and ironed Gi.
- Cleanliness,
tidy hair, clean hands, short and clean finger and toenails.
