  1. All students must BOW (kyong-ye) when entering or leaving the DO JANG (gym). This is to show respect for the place where we build our character and strenth.

  2. Address all instructors and Black Belts by "Sir" or "Ma'am" Also answer all questions by "Yes Sir" or "Yes Ma'am", to show an appreciation for the knowledge and experience of the Black Belts. Junior students should display the same respect to all parents and adults.

  3. Always wear a clean DOBOK (uniform) with a school patch while working out in the DO JANG. Junior students should not wear their dobok outside the do jang to play in.
