| DOJO ETIQUETTE |
While Jujitsu training can be fun we need to realize that without proper focus and decorum the potential for serious injury exists. Therefore etiquette is of the utmost importance. Bowing: For the Japanese bowing is a term of respect, how deeply and how long one holds the bow depends on the situation and the respect due the parties involved. Compared to American culture the Japanese bow is a mix between a military salute and a handshake. When to bow: When entering or leaving the Dojo. Stepping on or off the mat. At the opening and closing of class. After receiving instruction Before and after training with a partner. Standards of Dress While Training: Even though we are to be engaged in strenuous exercise this does not excuse us from maintaining a sense of humility and decorum. Male and Female students should wear a clean Judo Gi with an undershirt. Please take care to have finger and toenails trimmed. Please avoid using any cologne or perfume before class. No Jewelry is to be worn. Students should make use of changing rooms or rest rooms for changing, and enter class "suited up" and ready to train. Please endeavor to remember that your uke (training partner) is a facilitator to your learning. Therefore always practice with full awareness of you surroundings and both your and your uke's limitations. Dues Are to be turned in on the first of the of the month. It is the students responsiblity to cover their obligation on time. Tardyness: Students should arrive early to class but should take care not to disturbe a class in session. In the event you are late. Quickly and quietly get your gi on and stand at the side of the mat until Sensei or a senior student bows you in.
