Manners & etiquette
Students are expected to use and respect the proper etiquette of the martial arts gym. Manners and discipline are a large part of the martial arts experience.
Training and learning - never tire of learning. Understand that a student of life can learn anywhere, anytime, from anyone - many times from those of a lower rank or status.
Bow - Bowing is a form of respect given to others and a recognition of willingness to learn. Students bow before entering the training area.
Country - When a flag exists in the martial arts gym, students bow to the flag before entering/leaving the training area.
Black Belts/Other Students - Bow to higher ranks before asking a question in a formal setting (e.g. testing)
