There is no place for egotistical behavior in a Dojo; conduct yourself with humility, respect all equally

 Discipline yourself to attend classes regularly, always practice to the best of your ability

After your first grading, it is compulsory to attend class in either full gi or club shirt with belt and  comfortable lower body clothing 

 Students are to train barefoot or with martial arts shoes/plimsolls; trainers and other footwear destroy  training equipment 

Never wear your gi for any other activity besides martial arts, this is a uniform of discipline 

Whenever entering or leaving the Dojo, stand in the doorway, face the front, and say "OSU

Late arrivals should make themselves known to an instructor by assuming seiza position at the side of  the Dojo floor. Once an instructor gives the signal to join the class, do 25 press ups, say “OSU” and join  the back of the class.  

Ensure your phone is on silent before class begins 

Jewelry is to be removed prior to training 

. When walking to or from your position in class during a lined formation, never cut through a line,  rather walk around your fellow students on the outside of the class. 

Sit cross-legged or in seiza position. (if you have a knee problem, please speak to your instructor)

 When you are asked to do something in class, always move as quickly as possible  

If you need to adjust your gi, face away from the group or your partner and be quick 

 Students should never lean against walls, lie-down or exhibit any other such behavior which is  unbefitting and indicative of weakness, regardless of how tired they become 

When an instructor is explaining a technique, drill or principle students should stand to attention with  fists clenched and elbows bent at 45 degrees  

 Inside the Dojo, always address instructors by their proper title, Sir or Ma’am, not by their personal  name

Every time you have a new partner for any exercise, cross arms and say “OSU”

 Toenails and fingernails are to be kept short to prevent injury, long hair is to be tied back during  training 

It is everyone's responsibility to ensure the Dojo is clean, tidy and safe at all times; senior students  may designate tasks to juniors such as bringing out and packing up equipment at the start and end of  each class
