Code of Conduct
|
Since
Aikido is a dangerous activity, safety is our number one concern. Any student
not taking care with training partners during practice will be expelled.
Disobedience and misbehaviour will not be tolerated. Pay your seniors their
due respect. Personal
hygiene is also very important. No one wants to train with dirty, smelly or
sweaty partners. Uniforms must be cleaned regularly and ironed before
training. Carry a sweat towel while training. Keep long hair tied back and
toe and finger nails cut very short. Remove all jewellery. Arrive
to class before the scheduled start time to get changed into uniform and
assist with the routine dojo jobs. Students should be kneeling in seiza by
the time class begins. The dojo may be available before and after class for
free training. Regardless of supervision, always train safely. When
entering or exiting the dojo, bow to the shomen. When moving around the dojo,
gain an awareness of the activities occurring around you. Walk around the
outside to avoid activity on the inside. When throwing your partner, be aware
of others around you and always throw to the outside. Dont
show other people Aikido techniques in a social setting and avoid being
pushed into a challenge. Instead, invite others to come to the dojo to watch
a class or participate in a workshop. Seeing other students socially is a
natural result of training closely within the group, but always behave
appropriately, without taking advantage of younger or more junior students. |
