Student Composure
Inside & Outside the Do Jang
Members should not lose self-control or composure at any time in the Dojang.
Always respond with a loud clear voice. Respect and discipline must be maintained.
Members should bow to their instructors, senior members and their opponents.
When seated, the member should sit in a cross legged position with their back straight and hands on the knees.
They should not talk and should look ahead, be alert and attentive.
During training the member should observe correct protocol at all times.
When the class Instructor enters the training floor, the senior belt holder on the floor
will call the class to attention and have the class bow.
After proper respect has been shown, the class will return to training or follow the instruction given.
When a student needs to ask the instructor anything, they must first approach a senior member to gain permission.
A chain of command should always be maintained.
After the closing salutation, the senior student will instruct the class to bow to all Black Belts.
When the instructor has dismissed the class, the Black Belts will have the opportunity, at this time,
to give any final instructions to the class before they leave the training floor.
Members should handle themselves with respect and honour when they are outside of the Do Jang
as well as when they are inside the Do Jang.
Snow Herons Martial Arts and other members are reflected by your behaviour.
The Chief Instructor should always be greeted and shown the same respect and protocol outside, as in the school.
