This also applies when on courses in sports centres, etc.
If the class has started, kneel and wait to be
invited to join the class by the instructing Sensei,
then
perform a kneeling bow (don't rush) and join the class.
When joining the class do not walk in front of the instructor or
the class.
Always try to be on time.
When wishing to speak to your instructor (in the
Dojo) always refer to him/her as Sensei
(no matter how friendly
you may be outside the Dojo).
Always ask permission to leave the Dojo during
the class.
Do not eat, drink or smoke in the Dojo.
Do not come to the Dojo to watch if you are
injured or sick
without first asking permission from the
instructing Sensei.
If you can make it to the Dojo you can
train.
Your Sensei will use discretion where injuries are
concerned.
You will never be asked to do anything you are
not capable of.
Never come to the Dojo without a clean and ironed Gi. It is most unpleasant to train
beside a smelling karateka.
Make sure you are clean,
nails short, etc.
Always behave with sincerity in the Dojo.
Honour the Dojo
Oath.
Do no just pay them lip service.
