- Tae Kwon Do -

These are some rules that students are expected to follow while in the training academy.  By following these rules, students show their respect for their school, their masters, their fellow students, and themselves.
 

1. All students must bow to the flags when entering or leaving the workout floor showing respect for the dojang.
    
2. No talking in class.  The student should raise his/her hand and wait to be recognized by the Instructor. The instructor should be addressed as "SIR" or "MA'AM" after the questions.
    
3. No horse play in the dojang. Proper conduct is expected of every student in or out of the academy at all times.
    
4. To prevent any injuries, no jewelry is to be worn in class.
    
5. No gum chewing or eating in class or workout area.
    
6. Students should keep all toe and fingernails trimmed.
    
7. Students should answer with a "Yes Sir" or "Yes Ma'am when given orders by the Instructors, a "Thank You Sir" or "Thank You Ma'am" when corrected in a technique. This is a display of courtesy, one of the main aspects of all martial arts.
    
8. Students awaiting their class should enter quickly, bow, remove shoes, and walk to the locker room.
    
9. No shoes (unless official Tae Kwon Do sport shoes) are to be worn on the training floor.

14. Always wear a clean dobok (school uniform) at all times.  It is strongly recommended that uniforms and school tee-shirts are washed with a perfume and dye free detergent and fabric softener as to prevent staining and/or artificial fragrances.
