| Rules for the Kwoon |
Your general motivation is to always be more concerned
with the safety of your partners than that of yourself.
- Bow when entering and leaving the training room.
- Address the instructors properly.
- When interrupting an instructor or higher belt to ask a
question, bow before and after as a sign of politeness and respect.
- Do not ask higher belts to spar.
- Never inform the instructor that you are ready for new
material or to be tested.
- Do not show any other students material unless you are
expressly given permission (at that time) to do so. Parents
taking class with their children cannot take their children
ahead in material of what they are being taught in class.
- Do not teach our forms to people outside the style. Do not
lend/give/sell them video of our forms either.
- During class you should not wear jewelry, except maybe a
simple band (wedding for example). Do not wear: watches, bracelets,
necklaces, earrings, or rings with settings.
- Keep all finger and toenails trimmed. NO EXCEPTIONS!
(Covering the hands with mitt-type sparring gear is not sufficient
because you use your hands in self-defense and other training drills
during class). Anything beyond the end of the finger is too long.
- Do not touch weapons above your rank, or strike the iron palm equipment.
- No unsupervised sparring in the school below black belt level.
- I highly recommend wearing a protective cup (for men) and
mouthpiece for all sparring.
- Arrive in time to be ready for class at the scheduled time.
- Show respect and appreciation for each other at all times.
- Finally, take all of your excesses, role them up… and just get to class!
