In Preperation for and During Class
1. Be on time for class: attend class regularly.
2. If you must arrive late, ask for permission to join the class. If you must leave early, ask permission before leaving.
3. Come to classes clean and well groomed (this includes keeping the fingernails and toenails well trimmed).
4. Do-bok is the Korean word for Martial Arts uniform. Come to practice with a complete and presentable Do-bok. This means the uniform should be clean and untorn; it should include underwear, pants, jacket and belt. Any T-shirt or leotard worn under the jacket should be black. Always treat the Do-bok with respect after class, fold it neatly.
5. If your uniform needs adjusting, face away from the flags and kneel on your right knee when you fix it.
6. Before class, change into your uniform without delay. Always wear the full uniform at the beginning of class. If the weather is hot, you may ask permission to take off the jacket or T-shirt after the class has bowed in.
7. Do not wear jewelry during practice. Jewelry can cause injury to yourself or your partners.
8. Whenever you're asked to sit down during class session, sit properly with feet crossed or tucked under you, (never point the bottoms of your feet towards an instructor), Don't slouch or lean against the walls.
9. Concentrate on training. Never do anything to obstruct your own or another's learning. There should be no unnecessary talking or horseplay during practice.
10. Practice to your full potential; push yourself to the limit of your endurance and energy and concentration.
11. Keep a strong mind. Don't let doubts and or fears overshadow you. Also, do show your stamina not weariness-it is contagious and will quickly contaminate your classmates. On the other hand, be realistic-don't push yourself beyond safe limits.
12. Always persevere and have patience. Never give up!!!
13. Do not use drugs except for medication. If you are ever found drunk or drugged in the Do-jang, you may be expelled.
