14. Missing a private without calling or canceling will cause you to lose it. You will then be required to pay for any future privates.

15. When speaking to a black belt, always use the term "Sensei" - this means "teacher". Same goes for Sempai.

31. Say "Good Evening", "Good Morning", etc. to all Sensei's (black belts) upon entering or leaving the Dojo.

32. Keep politics, religion, and gossip out of the Dojo. We all have our own opinion on these issues and the Dojo will not be the place for comments or discussion on any of them.

33. Focus on your martial arts training and the instruction of your teacher. Remember what the Dojo is and show the respect that is appropriate.

34. Never lose your temper or pout during sparring or practice. Your enemy is never in the Dojo. Your temper and anger can be your greatest and worst enemy.

35. Make the best of your free time. Use it to practice, prepare, stay in shape and develop self-control.

36. If you need help, ask for it. Never give up or quit. Never say "I can't". Personalize your training and try not to compare yourself to any other student. Ability and accomplishment is what you strive for and achieve in your self.

37. Don't interrupt others. Listen more, talk less.

38. Outside the Dojo your Sensei is still your Sensei. You should address him with the same respect, never a casual "Hey", or wave. Always "Hello, Sensei" etc.

40. HAVE AN ATTITUDE TO SUCCEED AND YOU WILL!!
