If arriving late to class, you must ask permission to join class. If leaving class early, you must ask permission before class begins. If you must leave the floor because you are ill or have to use the restroom, you must ask permission. No playing, sparring, or other distracting activities are allowed by students while waiting for their class to begin. Martial Arts are not like other sports or activities that you may have tried before.
Physical discipline is only part of the whole program.
Mental discipline is another part. Yelling, loud noises and tough manners are used by most instructors during class. No student will be allowed to distract the instructor or other students from a proper training in the class. Improper conduct outside of the class will not be tolerated, since what the student does reflects on all of the students and instructors. If improper conduct is discovered, that student will be expelled from the class and all rank taken away.
