Bow onto and off of the workout area (if a blackbelt is present, do not enter workout area unless acknowledged by the highest ranking black belt).

The workout area is for practicing forms, basics, etc., not for conversation.

Never leave the workout area during class without permission.

Bow before addressing your instructor.

Bows should be initiated by the lower rank.

Always defer to a senior student.

Make sure that your appearance is neat.

Be positive

Conduct yourself in such a way that brings credit to yourself, your instructor, and your dojo.​

Treat fellow students politely and with good manners.

Do not become a distraction to those around you.

The senior-most student is in the right-most position in the front row.

Students line up to the left of this student according to rank.

The next row will begin with the next junior rank standing directly behind the most senior rank in the row in front of them.

The senior-most student calls everyone to bow to the instructor.

When moving together, be aware - out of the corner of your eye - where the senior student is and do not move in front of them.

If called out of line by the instructor to assist with a demonstration or to perform a task, bow to the instructor both before and after.

Do not ask questions during class unless the instructor has given permission.

Never touch someone else's weapon without explicit permission.
