Welcome to Central Minnesota Karate

Karate & Dojo Etiquette

As a Shotokan karate practitioner with Central Minnesota Karate, please read and adhere to the procedures and etiquette listed below:

  • After changing into your gi, please keep clothes and shoes contained and stored in the area in front of the dojo studio.
  • Always bow when entering or exiting the dojo, showing respect to the training area.
  • The instructor should always be addressed as Sensei. Other black belts and assistant instructors should be addressed as Sempai.             
  • The gi (uniform) must be a solid white and tailored above the wrist and above to ankle. No insignias allowed with the exception of a club patch. Do not use safety pins to hem or tailor the gi, they are not safe.
  • Good personal hygiene is expected. Keep feet especially clean and trim toenails and fingernails short for safety.
  • Do not wear jewelry (earrings, necklaces, rings, watches, bracelets, etc.).
  • Do not practice karate in the lobby area. Absolutely no horseplay or running in the lobby.
  • If a student comes late and class is in progress, they are to kneel at the dojo door until the Sensei invites them to enter.
  • When class is in session, do not lean against walls or sit down. No running or horseplay and be careful not to touch mirrors.
  • When instruction is given by the Sensei, always respond by sternly announcing Os! This demonstrates courtesy and alertness.
