Finally, we are all here to improve ourselves in some way, so let's work together so that each of us can get the utmost from our time spent in the dojo. If you have any questions or problems relating to class, please do not hesitate to ask any senior member before or after class. Also, if need be, you may contact any of the instructors at home. Rather than impose a specific set of strict rules to govern conduct in the dojo, we believe that with the 'proper mentality' everything works well. When practicing, it is important for each student to exercise this 'proper mentality' in order to maximize their rate of learning for themselves and to provide the proper atmosphere for other dojo members.
Senior members attempt to set an example of proper training mentality during each class.
Beyond this, please use common sense and let the instructor know if you have any problems or questions. Remember that we are practicing for a serious situation in life. We have to create a correspondingly serious training environment which facilitates honest learning of a realistic martial art. The following is a list of terms frequently used in class. Each new student should become familiar with these words and phrases.
