DON'T

• Leave the class without your instructor's permission
• Arrive late for training (if you do, warm up outside then kneel at the front of the Dojo, wait to be asked to enter then bow and join the class).
• Wear any jewellery in the Dojo (rings which won't come off must be covered with tape).
• Use offensive language or behaviour in the Dojo.
• Use your Karate skills outside of the Dojo (except for self defence or the defence of other within the law).

Because karate is practised in a traditional manner and based around discipline there are several things you should and shouldn't do when training.
