The correct Dojo Etiquette must be observed at all times: i.e. bowing upon entering and leaving the Dojo, correct respect shown to Instructors and visiting Sensei, and respect for fellow members, whatever grade they may be.
Smoking will not be permitted in the dojo.
Members should at all times make a personal effort to ensure that their karate Gi's are washed and cleaned regularly.
Toe nails and finger nails must be cut regularly so as to prevent injury to other members.
Members who wear their hair long will be permitted to wear Machi-Machi (head-bands) to prevent hair falling into their eyes and effecting concentration during a training session.
Rings, watches, necklaces, earrings and other personal adornments must be removed prior to each session. These items are liable to cause injury.
All articles of value should not be left in the changing rooms as the Instructor and Secretary cannot be held responsible for articles which are lost, damaged or stolen.
Members train at their own risk; neither the instructors or the Secretary can accept liability for any injuries incurred whilst training.
Members should not arrive or go home in their karate Gi. Juniors who arrive/leave in their gi must NOT wear their belt.
Any member found using Karate against a person outside the Dojo, found to be dishonourable, of an unsuitable character, who shows a blatant disregard for Dojo etiquette and respect or shows no self-control whilst training shall have their membership terminated.
