Dojo and Training Etiquette

 

Training etiquette is a basic part of our Ki and Aikido program. Etiquette teaches respect for all things, it teaches discipline and creates a safe environment in which we can learn.

Basic rules to follow:

· Every student is responsible for creating an atmosphere of harmony and respect.

· Respect the dojo, respect your training equipment, and respect each other.

 

Dojo Etiquette:

Although there are many forms of etiquette to remember, they will become more natural as you continue to train.   Please do not be resentful if you are corrected on a matter of etiquette, this too is a part of your training. 

Practicing proper etiquette goes a long way toward promoting an atmosphere of harmony and respect.   The correct attitude of respect, sincerity, and modesty creates an atmosphere essential to the learning process and safety of each student.
