Discipline is measured by a students approach to training; It's a tradition in Tae Kwon Do and the key to your success and achievements. The basic principles found in these rules have been a part of Tae Kwon Do since the beginning.

As a sign of respect you must:

ALWAYS BOW when:

Entering or leaving your Do Jang.
Always bow to your instructor prior to the commencement of class, then to all black belts in order of rank or as they arrive. The lower rank always bows first with their feet together.
If you arrive late to class or must leave the Do Jang, you must come to the side of the front line facing your instructor, wait until you have his/her attention, bow then move to the back of the class and warm up. You should join in with the back line when ready. You will be told by your instructor to line up in order of rank when the opportunity arises.

Always be courteous and pay respect to your instructors, other students at your Do Jang by:

Paying full attention while training and obey your instructors at all times
Don't talk while your instructor is talking, never stand with your arms folded in front or stand with your hands on your hips either stand with them by your side or behind you're your lower back in at ease stance.
Never dispute with a higher belt or lose your control or your temper at any time. Any grievances or questioning the application of a technique should be discussed in private after class is finished.
