Curriculum

Before we present our Dōjō curriculum we must first provide general rules (Dōjō etiquette – Dōjō reigi 道場礼儀). Please have a thorough understanding of these respectful gestures before continuing on to the password protected curriculum.

  • (NEW!) If you have a cough or sneeze, please wear a viral containment mask and gloves.
    • If you have a fever, flu, or any other symptoms of a contagion (ie – Covid / Corona Virus), please do not attend and instead join the ZOOM session.
    • It is strongly recommended that all attendees participating wear a N95 / KN94 containment mask until our regional Covid / Corona transmission rate is R0≤1.
  • Arrive early … always.
  • Karate-dō begins and ends with respect.
    • This applies to the training floor and all attendees.
    • Bow upon arrival and departure, as well as 
    • Bow upon the beginning and ending of each exercise or kata.
  • Do not wear jewelry of any kind during training.
  • Keep your body clean and nails trimmed for yourself and for others.
    • If you can smell you … others can smell you. 
  • Wear your Dōgi clean and with pride.
  • There is no kumite without the supervision of Shihan, Sensei or senior Senpai.
  • Observe the historical traditions of training and Budō.
  • Respect those older and more experienced for their hindsight.
  • Respect those less experienced without pressure or duress for their growth and future.
  • Respect the opinions of others and listen with an open mind. There is a moment of learning in every part of life.
  • Please pay tuitions in a timely manner. Our club must pay for insurance, rentals, club memberships (JKF Gojukai, Seiwakai USA, USANKF and DNBK), ZOOM subscription, accounting, taxes, etc, on time without late penalties. 
    • Tuition submissions for Shelter in place, remote video training or on site sessions can be sent via Paypal, Venmo or Square and are tax deductible as SKSV in a registered non-profit.
