Etiquette
Entering the Dojang:
*When entering or leaving the studio and training floor, face the flags and bow. This demonstrates respect and appreciation for our country, the country that originated the art, our style, and our training.
*It is proper discipline to bow to the instructor upon entering the dojang. Students do not have to wait for the instructor to acknowledge the bow if the instructor is busy.
*When the instructor enters the dojang, the most senior student in the class will call attention and have the class bow.
Keep all personal belongings neatly in a confined space for the safety and comfort of everyone. Be considerate of property belonging to other students and the dojang; always get permission before borrowing.
Starting Class And Dismissing Class:
Remember to conduct this with great respect to the discipline, the instructor, and peers. Line up according to rank and seniority with the most senior student on the far right. The senior student quickly checks that all students are dressed correctly before calling the commands:
Attention (Cha Ryut)
Salute the flag (Kuk Ki Ba Ray)
Return (Ba Ro)
Meditation (Muk Nyum)
Return (Ba Ro)
Face and Bow to the Instructor (Kwan Jang Nim, Sa Bom Nim, Kyo Sa Nim, Son Sang Nim, or Sun Beh Nim - Kay Kyung Yet)
*All students bow first and wait for instructor to rise before they rise (Repeat for the senior student)
Thank You (Ko Mop Som Nee Da)
Conduct During Class:
* All students should make every effort to be on the training floor on time; however, if a student is late, he/she must wait on the edge of the floor in “attention” and wait to be invited to join the class by the instructor.
* Show respect by bowing when the instructor or a senior member offers personal correction.
* During the class, if you have a question, please raise your hand to maintain order. At the next available moment, the teacher will stop the class and recognize your question. Please stand at attention, bow, and ask the question. After the answer is received it is proper to bow and say, “Thank You Sir/ Ma’am.”
* A junior member should refrain from correcting a senior member in the dojang.
* Unless you are asked to do so, the students should not correct another student’s technique or behavior.
* Please use good hygiene: When needed, deodorant should be used regardless of age. Fingernails and toenails should not go past the tips. Hair long enough to be in the face should be fastened back. If you are sick, you should not attend training.
