World Champion TKD

Regardless of skill level, all students follow the 3 principle rules of Tae Kwon Do:

1. Always respect your parents
2. Always do your best in school
3. Always Believe in yourself

Bow (KyungNeh)
* When you meet Master Kim and any other Master Instructor
* When you meet any senior ranks - any belts higher than your current belt
* Whenever you enter the Training Hall from any direction
* Whenever you leave the Training Hall

Address
* Always use Sir or Ma'am when addressing instructors, senior rank and elders.
* Always address and refer to senior ranks by Mr. Ms. or Mrs. Always use only the last name. Never refer to a senior rank by first name.

Uniform (DoBok)
* Wear the uniform with pride.
* Always wear a clean uniform that is not wrinkled.
* Do not decorate. Tae Kwon Do strives for simplicity. Wear only approved patches.
* Remove all jewelry, rings, watches, etc. before entering the Studio.
* Remove shoes and hats before entering the Studio.
* Tie the belt correctly. It is a sign of rank and should be worn with dignity.
* If your children dress at home, come directly to the Training Hall for class and afterward go directly home. It is not appropriate to wear the uniform and belt when shopping or playing.

Behavior in the Training Hall (DoJahng)
* Always take the initiative to greet the instructor when you enter (Stop. Bow. Hello Sir/Ma'am.)
* Be early - at least be on time - for class. If late, stand to one side and request permission to join. Wait until permission is granted.
* Attempt to be helpful whenever possible. Higher belts should always be willing to train and instruct lower belts.
* Do not ask to be excused to the restroom or to get a drink during class. In an emergency, ask permission to leave class.
* Do not eat, drink, or chew gum in the Studio.
* Accept criticism gracefully. Do not talk back.
* Do not discuss things that do not apply to Tae Kwon Do.
* Speak correct English. Do not use slang.
* Do not engage in horseplay while in uniform or at any inappropriate time or place.
* Do not show off with Tae Kwon Do at school or work.
