Meditation Rules
Please remove your shoes, and any headgear (i.e. hats), and bow before entering the Dojo. Bow when leaving the Dojo as well. The reason we remove our shoes is twofold: It is an ancient tradition and sign of a visitor's humility to remove their footwear. Most importantly, it preserves the hygiene of the Dojo from the germ and bacteria-laden street. Remember, good health and peak fitness are key reasons why you joined World Grand Master Tabrizy’s (World Legion Of Power Organization) Organization.
Always enter from the rear of a class in session. Never walk in front of an instructor during a class.
Speak quietly when classes are in session.
Eating, drinking, smoking or chewing gum in the Dojo is prohibited.
Foul language in or near the Dojo is prohibited.
Bow to the flag, founder, and instructor at the beginning and end of each class. Always bow to your workout partner when working out. This is a sign of mutual respect. It does not have a religious significance.
Do not disrupt the flow of a class by interrupting the instructor with questions. This applies to Group and Private Lessons. Your instructor will reserve a time at the end of class to answer any questions you may have. In the early stages of training, too many questions on your part will cause unnecessary delays, disrupt the flow of the learning process and ultimately confuse you.
Possession of Drugs or Alcohol in the Dojo by students is grounds for immediate dismissal.
No sparring is allowed in the Dojo unless supervised by the Chief Instructor.
No one will participate in tournament competitions or any form of underground fighting without the Chief Instructors permission.
All beginning students must wear an all-white Karate Uniform (Gi). When a student reaches Blue Belt, he or she will wear an all-black uniform. World Grand Master Tabrizy’s (World Legion Of Power Organization) Organization logo patch is always worn over the heart.
Always refer to your instructor as Seefu, Sensei or Shihan as appropriate.
A dirty, wrinkled uniform reflects badly on you as a student. Always wear a clean, pressed Gi to class.
A student must not ask about their next rank test date. This shows a lack of patience and humility, as well as disrespect for your instructor's professional judgment. When your instructor feels you are ready to test for a higher belt, he or she will let you know.
Control your emotions at all times. The Dojo is no place for tempers to flare.
Support your Dojo. Always purchase your martial arts supplies, uniforms and training equipment from your instructor. This helps keep tuition at its current level.
Shirts worn with the uniform (Gi) must be a World Grand Master Tabrizy’s (World Legion Of Power Organization) Organization Karate shirt.
Attendance at anniversary celebrations is mandatory.
