MUMON  KARATE

Karate is dangerous so proper observance of etiquette is as important to our training as is learning the physical techniques of Karate.

 

Please follow the etiquette below at all dojos:

• Students must advise instructors of ailments, injuries or diseases prior to instruction.

• Remove your shoes before entering the dojo.

• Bow each time you enter or leave the dojo and a sign of humility and respect.

• Try not to be late for class. If you are late, enter the dojo quietly and wait at the back of the class until the instructor asks you to join the practice. You should then bow and join the class.

• Remove your watch and all jewelry before practice to avoid injury to you and others.

• Keep your finger and toe nails cut short to avoid injury to others. Maintaining personal cleanliness is an act of consideration, respect, and safety for yourself and others.
