GUIDLINES FOR KARATE STUDENTS
Guidlines For Students
Before Training:
- Be clean.
- Have a clean karate suit (Gi).
- Wear no jewellery or watches. (If you have a ring that you can’t remove, then put tape round it.)
- Long hair must be tied back.
- Finger and toenails must be cut short.
- Clothing must be soft (i.e. have no pins or pointed catches).
- Be fit and ready to train, (e.g. don’t come having consumed alcohol, or if you are ill).
- Try not to be late, (if you are late, kneel at the back of the Dojo until the Sensei acknowledges you).
During Training:
- Have the correct attitude, i.e. awareness, concentration, intention to give 100% effort.
- Be aware of those around you, for both their protection and to protect yourself from others.
- All actions must be controlled and there must be minimum “touch” contact only.
- Practice every technique with attention to detail.
- Don’t slump. If sitting, keep the legs crossed or kneel down.
- Don’t talk unless to ask a relevant question of an instructor.
- Give instant response to the teacher. Respond to commands with “Hai Sensei”, run into position and back.
- Bow in response to individual commands to Sensei or if you ask a question of them.
- Humour has its place, and may be acknowledged internally, but expressed in a restrained manner.
- During the line up, if you join or leave the lines, do so around the outside.
- For safety reasons, you must not leave the Dojo without informing the instructor.
We insist that students do not practice the martial Skills learnt from our school unless in private or under the supervision of a qualified Ryushinkan instructor.
Our first priority is safety. At every opportunity the school will carry out risk assessments and endeavor to uphold the highest safety standards. Karate however is a physical contact form. Students must be responsible for maintaining a good level of fitness and exhibit control at all times. Students must not put themselves or those around them at risk.
If a student has any concerns about their personal health they must seek medical advice from their qualified health care advisor or G.P.
