Class Etiquette
How to Tie your Belt ( obi )
Remove shoes and socks upon entering the dojo. Shoes are NEVER worn on the training floor.
Bow upon entering or leaving the dojo floor. This is to show respect for the facilities used in the practice of karate.
Students always line up for class in order of grade. For beginners, this means that you will stay on the side closest to the door.
There should be no talking between students while class is in session. Questions may be asked at an appropriate time.
Always follow the instructions given by the instructor. If you are unfamiliar with the movements, try to copy the person next to you or a senior.
Never refer to an instructor by name while in the dojo. Always use the term "Sensei".
At NO time will horseplay be tolerated. Karate is a discipline of both mind and body, and as such demands full concentration and serious effort on the part of the student. Horseplay can only lead to loss of knowledge and possible injury to oneself or one's partner.
Jewellery should not be worn while training. Watches, rings, earrings, necklaces, etc. often get in the way and can cause otherwise avoidable injuries.
Good hygiene should be followed. Finger- and toenails should be kept short to prevent injury while training and hands and feet should be clean. Uniforms are to be kept clean and in good repair.
Keep the dojo clean. Clothing should be neatly placed along the wall of the dojo. Make sure that any rubbish is properly disposed.
As a safety precaution, chewing gum is not allowed in class.
