Execute a bow of courtesy upon meeting an instructor or black belts. Each class will have a formal ceremonial opening and closing, consisting of a bow to the instructor. Strict attention is to be given to the instructor at all times.
Conversation is to be kept to a minimum during the class.
Proper respect will be displayed to all persons holding a higher ranking belt. Profanity, loss of temper, horseplay, loud laughing and talking, or any display of lack of self-discipline will not be tolerated. Do not try to skip ahead through observation of higher belts. Do not inquire concerning examinations for promotion to a higher grade. When the instructor decides that you, as an individual, are ready for promotion, you will be invited to test.
