Beginner's Notes


The Dojo/Training Hall:

  1. When entering or leaving the dojo, students should bow from the waist.
  2. When lining up, the highest grade stands at the front on the right side, as you look toward the instructor. The next highest is to his left, and so on, until the line is full then the next line back follows the same order.
  3. If you are late and the class has started then do your own warm ups off the training area, kneel and bow, then wait kneeling for the instructor to allow you to join. No matter what grade you are you should join at the back of the group. Always walk around the outside to get to your place, not through the middle.
  4. When the class begins students should refrain from talking, eating, smoking, wandering about, or any activity not being taught in the class.
