Dojo Etiquette

Remove your shoes before stepping on the mat. Leave them with heels towards the mat.
Bow when stepping onto and off of the mat.
Address the instructor as sensei.
Five minutes before class starts, line up and sit quietly for the sensei to begin. Then bow simultaneously with the sensei before the initial exercises.
If you are late for class, bow onto the mat and sit quietly off to the side in the seiza position until sensei gives you permission to join the class.
Bow to the instructor when called upon to practice.
If you should have to leave the mat or dojo for any reason during class, approach the instructor and ask permission.
