ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF YOUR STUDY OF AIKIDO IS LEARNING TO DISCIPLINE YOUR OWN BEHAVIOUR AND SELF CONTROL.
MAKE SURE YOUR MEMBERSHIP, INSURANCE,
AND TRAINING FEES ARE PAID UP TO DATE.
RESPECT YOUR INSTRUCTORS AND FELLOW STUDENTS.
WHEN SPEAKING TO YOUR INSTRUCTOR YOU SHOULD
ALWAYS ADDRESS THEM AS SENSEI (TEACHER), OR
USE THEIR FIRST NAME IF IT IS AN INFORMAL CLASS.
WHEN SITTING, ALWAYS SIT IN THE TRADITIONAL SEIZA (KNEELING) POSITION UNLESS TOLD OTHERWISE BY YOUR INSTRUCTOR.
DURING TRAINING, ANY STUDENT WISHING TO LEAVE THE MAT
OR PRACTISE SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE TECHNIQUE
DEMONSTRATED, MUST FIRST ASK THE INSTRUCTOR
ALWAYS ARRIVE FOR YOUR LESSON AT LEAST
TEN MINUTES BEFORE TRAINING BEGINS.
KEEP FINGER AND TOE NAILS TRIMMED, AND
REMOVE SHOES AND JEWELLERY BEFORE PRACTISE.
ALWAYS BOW ON ENTERING AND LEAVING A DOJO OR TRAINING AREA.
IF YOU ARRIVE LATE AND TRAINING HAS ALREADY STARTED, WAIT AT THE SIDE OF THE MAT, UNTIL YOUR INSTRUCTOR INVITES YOU TO JOIN IN.
TO BEGIN AND END EACH CLASS, THE HIGHEST RANKING STUDENT
WILL SAY MOKUSU (PERIOD OF CALM).
THEN THEY WILL SAY SHOMEN REI (BOW TO FRONT), WHICH IS A
SIGN OF RESPECT TO MORIHEI UESHIBA THE FOUNDER OF AIKIDO.
THEN THEY WILL SAY SENSEI REI (BOW TO INSTRUCTOR).
AT THE START OF TRAINING ALL STUDENTS SAY
ONEGAI SHIMASU (WE ARE READY).
AT THE END OF TRAINING ALL STUDENTS SAY
DOMO ARIGATO (THANK YOU).
