Nahashu Dojo Reigi
Rules of the Dojo [School]

Karate begins and ends with respect.
With that in mind,
the following rules will be adhered to in the Dojo at all times.

  1. Bow when entering and leaving the Dojo.

  2. Always bow before speaking with Sensei and when finished.

  3. You will always address Mr. Nielsen as Sensei. No exceptions.

  4. Never interrupt Sensei when he is talking to someone else or practicing.

  5. Always bow to each other before working together and after.

  6. Junior belts should always bow to their senior belts.

  7. A belt senior to you is addressed as Sempai.

  8. Be courteous and kind to everyone in the Dojo. We are a family.

  9. Always answer with "Hai Sensei" or "No Sensei".

  10. There will be No playing around in the Dojo!

  11. There is no talking while Sensei is instructing.

  12. Inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated.

  13. Be helpful to each other and new students.

  14. The use of foul language is prohibited.

  15. Cleanliness of body with short finger and toe nails is required with a clean uniform.

These rules are set in place in our Dojo to build strong morals, self esteem, and respect for each other. They form the basis of traditional karate. By following these rules you will learn that karate trains the whole person mind, body, and spirit.

Learning a little at a time will form a strong foundation for superior growth in the martial arts. Remember that your journey is about you and not any one else. At times you may feel uncoordinated or that you just can't get something right. This is very common and happens to all of us. Always approach karate as a way to better yourself. You will find that with continuous training and time you will accomplish much. Your body is not use to doing these strange movements. You must give yourself time and practice patience and it will come.
