Dojo Rules

Continuing on with my fictional style series, I will discuss dojo rule and etiquette.

  1. No eating or drinking in the dojo. (Water is okay. But only in spectator area or dressing rooms.)
  2. Bow before entering and bow as you leave.
  3. Absolutely no running or playing anywhere in the dojo. (including spectator/waiting area and dressing rooms.) You will be dismissed immediately.  Second offense results in dismissal for rest of class. Third offense results in permanent dismissal.
  4. Do not talk when the sensei or senpai is addressing the whole class or just your group. (Third dismissal rule applies.)
  5. When asked to do so, do it immediately.
  6. No put downs and/or horseplay.
  7. Do not practice a technique or weapons without Sensei consent.
  8. No sitting allowed unless instructed by instructor or if unable to stand. (First warning, Second warning results in standing in back of the room for rest of class, third warning is a dismissal, fourth is expulsion.)
  9. If injured, notify Sensei/ Senpai immediately.
  10. No talking about things not related to the dojo when in training hall, unless necessary.
  11. Go to the bathroom before or after class.
  12. Get water before or after class.
  13. Pay attention at all times.
  14. Respect the equipment.
  15. Respect the people.
  16. Respect the Dojo.
I guess this is all for now.
