Club Rules |
 |
This page provides a list of our club rules.
- Minimum age for membership is 15-years (unless exceptional circumstances apply)
- Always be on time to the training sessions.
- Take off your shoes before you enter the Dojo.
- Keep your Karate suit clean.
- Keep finger and toe nails clean and short.
- Mind your personal hygiene.
- Take off all jewellery and watches before training.
- Obey the instructors completely and at all times during a session, but we do encourage you to continuously question what you learn - true understanding only comes through developing a sceptical mind and through critical reasoning.
- Please refrain from using the words "oss", "oos", "uss" or "hi" every time an instructor speaks to you - we do not speak Japanese. We only use Japanese words for some terminology where appropriate.
- Never call the instructors by the title of "Sensei", we hate that - please use our names.
- Never do anything that could damage the good name of the club or the art.
- Always help those that are less proficient.
- Enjoy yourselves!
