1. This Dojo operates in a formal manner following the traditional rules of
proper conduct. It is the responsibility of each student to honor and sincerely
follow this code.
2. It is the responsibility of each student to cooperate in creating a positive
atmosphere of harmony and respect.
3. It is each student's responsibility to assist in cleaning the Dojo. A clean
Dojo is a reflection of the dedication of the students.
4. It is Sensei's decision whether or not he will teach you. You cannot buy
techniques. The monthly membership dues provide a place to practice and provide
you with one small way to show gratitude for the teaching received. It is each
student's responsibility to pay dues on time.
5. Respect the Masters and the Art as handed down from Sensei; respect the Dojo;
respect your training tools and respect each other.
6. Respect Sensei's instructions and carry out his suggestion for training
sincerely and to the best of your abilities. There is no room for argument.
7. Insolence will not be tolerated. We must be aware of our limitations.
8. Everyone has different physical abilities and different reasons for study.
These must be respected. True Karate-Do is the proper and flexible application
of technique appropriate to changing circumstances. It is your responsibility
to cause no injury. You must protect your training partner and yourself.
9. All students are studying the same principles. There will be no ego conflicts
on the training floor. The Dojo membership is one family and the secret of
Karate-Do is harmony.
10. It is the moral responsibility of each student never to use techniques
learned here to harm another person or as to display ego. These are not
techniques of destruction, but of creation-the creation of a better society
through character development of the individual.
