- When you enter the dojang, bow to show respect for: sabumnim, flags, instructors, black belts, and fellow students. When you leave the dojang, bow to show respect once again.
- Bow to the flag when you enter or leave the mat area.
- Whenever you arrive during a class, enter the dojang and wait until your instructor places you in the class.
- Always wear a clean, neat, uniform to class; and NO jewelry. It can be dangerous to yourself and others.
- Personal hygiene is important. Also keep nails on both hands and feet trimmed back to protect both yourself and your partner.
- Please address all black belts as either "sir" or "ma'am", and Mr., Mrs., or Ms. where appropriate, regardless of age. This is done to show respect for their instructor status while in the dojang.
- Whenever you need assistance, simply inform your instructor that you do not know a particular movement and he will take care of you. Never ask him to show you or demonstrate how to do something. Just explain that you do not know something, and trust him to take care of it.
- All students must be courteous and must obey their instructor. Advanced students should set a good example for the lower belts.
- Do not demonstrate or teach Hapkido outside the school without the express permission of the instructor. Never degrade Hapkido or the reputation of your school.
- Each student is a member of our family. Therefore, it would be appreciated if you would let us know if you are ill, too busy, going on vacation, or will be absent for an extended period. Changes affecting your training are our concern. Stop by or call to let us know.
- All students are responsible to keep the dojang clean.
- No sparring or contact allowed without black belt supervision.
- Do not attempt to practice techniques you have not been shown directly by your instructor; there is a reason for this.
- Do not pursue your training so strongly as to injure yourself or others.
- You are responsible for your own equipment - take care of it.
- If overly fatigued or having sharp pain, you may drop out or stop a specific activity without the instructor's permission. Realize that training with an injury can lead to further and more serious injury. Pay attention to what your body tells you.
- Always show respect to your seniors and each other, and take it upon yourself to help and encourage your juniors.
