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.
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, ask to be shown again or 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. In addition, if any items are damaged due to non removal, Red
Sun Karate will not be held responsible.
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.
