All students, upon entering the school, should stow all gear, shoes and personal items in the designated locker room or other location. No shoes should EVER be worn on the mats. All students need to bow properly upon entering the dojang floor. Students are then requested to then greet the Master and all present Black Belt instructors the student needs to wait to be acknowledged then bow and shake hands as a form of respectful greeting. If they so wish, the student can quietly warm-up/stretch in the dojang if a class is not in session. Upon leaving the floor, the students must bow and shake the instructors’ hands as a proper farewell.
