When wearing your Do Bok, you must never smoke, drink alcohol, chew gum, eat or lean against the walls. You should always show respect to your Do Bok, your appearance and your school whether you are present in our Do Jang or not.

Be on time for class. If you do arrive early for class, take advantage of the extra time and do warming up exercises and practice. Do not lounge around.

Practice only those techniques which have been presented to you by the Instructor. Do not try to skip ahead through observation of higher belts.

Do not make inquiries about upcoming examinations for promotion to higher belts. When your instructor decides you as an individual are ready to test, he will invite you to test.
