Dojo Etiquette

When entering or leaving the Dojo (way place), it is courteous to say Osu and bow.

( The term Osu should also be used as an acknowledgement during training).
No Swearing or bad behaviour is allowed.
Blackbelts should be addressed by their titles ie: Sempai, Sensei or Shihan.
Nails on the hands and feet should be cut as short as possible to avoid injuries to yourself or your partner during sparring/training.
No Jewellery should be worn, as again it is a potential hazard to both you and other students.
Hair should be tied back with a soft band not clips.
Mobile phones should be turned off unless absolutely necessary. In this case please inform the instructor.
If you are going to be absent from training for a period of time, it is courteous to inform the instructor.
If you are late for training then you must wait in seiza until you are invited to join the class.
