This demonstrates respect and appreciation for our country, our style, our training, and the country that originated the art. Receiving Instruction: Please show respect by bowing when the instructor or a senior member offers personal correction. A junior member should refrain from correcting a senior member in the Dojang. At the end of the class, after the closing ceremonies, all class members should bow to their instructor and then the senior student; who should, in turn, return the bow. During the class, if you have a question, please raise your hand to maintain order. At the next available moment, the teacher will stop the class and recognize your question. Please stand at attention, bow, and ask the question. After the answer is received it is proper to bow and say, “Thank You Sir/ Ma’am.” For any reason, if you must be excused from class raise your hand to gain recognition from the instructor. After getting permission from the instructor, bow and excuse yourself. When/if you are able to rejoin the class, please stand at attention on the outskirts of the room until recognized by the instructor. Once recognized by the instructor, bow and rejoin the class. Entering the office: Never walk into your instructor’s office unannounced. Always knock first at the door and wait for instructions. It is the instructor’s responsibility to show respect to his/her student by extending the courtesy to him or her to be seated before the conversation begins. Work out area: During the class, upon the entrance of the Kwan Jang Nim, Sa Bom Nim, Kyo Sa Nim, Son Saeng Nim, or a Sun Beh Nim, the Chief Instructor of the class will call to attention “Cha Ryut” and command “Kyut Ret. (bowing from attention position) The class will then recognize the instructor with a bow. At a social event (Restaurant) From time to time your school will host visiting special guest instructors or will meet for social events. Often times the evening will conclude over a meal. The student should be in the restaurant earlier than the expected arrival of the instructor (or special guest instructor). The instructor will escort the special guest to the restaurant. When they arrive the students will rise and greet the instructor. The visiting instructor will be seated first, then the instructors and then the students. Seniors sit down first and others follow. If already seated, the student should rise and remain standing until all his seniors are seated. Placement of seating is flexible. However it is usual for the seniors to be placed next to the instructor. When the food is served, the guest is served first. It is proper discipline to wait until this instructor starts to eat first and then the student may begin. During a formal setting such as this, proper attire should be worn (suits, ties, for men and dresses, suits and appropriate pant outfits for women) unless the guest instructor waives the formal attire. Upon entering the Training hall (Dojang): It is proper discipline, while in uniform or everyday clothes, to bow to the instructor upon entering the Dojang. Students do not have to wait for the instructor to acknowledge the bow if the instructor is busy. Starting Class And Dismissing Class: Line up according to rank and seniority with the most senior student on the far right. The senior student quickly checks that all students are dressed correctly before calling the commands. 1) Attention (Cha Ryut) 2) Salute the flag (Song Cho Ki Ba Ray) 3) Return (Ba Ro) 4) Meditation (Muk Nyum), 5) Bow to the Instructor (Kwan Jang Nim, Sa Bom Nim, Kyo Sa Nim, Son Sang Nim, or Sun Beh Nim Kay Kyung Yet). Conduct During Class: When the instructor enters the training hall, the most senior student in the class should call to attention and have the class bow. If a student arrives late, he/she will bow and wait at the entrance of the Dojang until he/she is acknowledged by the instructor. If a student wishes to leave the training hall, he/ she must first ask permission from the instructor. 10 Articles of Faith on Mental Training 1.
