Dojo EtiquetteProper etiquette is essential as it signifies yourcommitment and appreciation for an important aspect ofJapanese culture that you have chosen to practise.Observation of etiquette indicates your sincerity andwillingness to learn and your trust and respect for yourself,your classmates and your instructors. Whether you are abeginner or an advanced student you are equallyresponsible for following these simple dojo rules (Reigisaho). If you are a beginner think of them as the basicbuilding blocks of your journey into the rich world ofkarate. If you have already been practicing for a whilethink of these as a vital aspect of your strive for technicalperfection. Never lose sight of what karate is in the firstplace – it has no place for arrogance or ignorance. When indoubt, thank back to the basic tenets of the Dojo Kun.Bowing: an essential aspect of the Japanese culture thatsignifies respect and acknowledgement. Bow to your peersand seniors.Showing spirit: through effort and Kia-ing. A loud Kiadisplays a powerful spirit. The choice of sound and word isyours. The purpose of the Kia is to release energy and relaxthe upper body muscles so that the technique is powerful andsharp. Words and sounds ending in ‘ah’ sounds workbetter. Do not be afraid to kia loud as this displays goodspirit and will motivate everyone in the class, never Kiahalf-heartedly. Movements performed at half strength aretypically not accompanied by a Kia. Movements at fullstrength are. Kia on every 5th and 10ths technique of anyset, at power points in a kata and whenever your Sensei tellsyou too.Punctuality: respect your class and your instructor. Cometo class a few minutes early so you can change and stretch.Move quickly into position when called to but do not run in

front of other students, go around and behind the class. Ifyou must be late enter the class quietly, kneel at the side ofclass and wait until the instructor acknowledges you. Thenbow while still kneeling and then join the group. Be theleast disruptive you can be. If you need to leave class early,let you instructor know ahead of time. When the time comsdo not disrupt the class and bow on your way out.Attention: remain focused and silent during class. Do notfidget, turn around, look around, talk with your classmates, yawn or fix your clothing during class. Face andpay full attention to your instructor as he or she is talkingto you and the rest of the class.Mental & physical preparation: a clean Gi, trimmed fingerand toe-nails and the removal of all jewelry are absolutemusts. Present the physical picture that you want yourclassmates to present. Put all daily frustrations andexcitements aside and you will find that training will helpyou relax and focus your thoughts.Physical discomfort and injuries: listen to your body.Don’t make unnecessary displays of fatigue, discomfort orpain. If you have an injury, make sure you can continue totrain before you decide to do so. Cover any cuts that youincur prior to or occasionally during class. Step to the sideif you are not feeling well. ‘pushing it’ is definitely a showof good motivation, but doing so to a point of injury I notproper etiquette.Following the count: treat it like an opponent. Part of yourpractice is to react to it as fast as possible, the same way thatyou would to an opponent’s move. Jumping the gunconfuses your classmates and is poor training for you.Trying you best: always. You your own benefit. But alsoout of respect for your sparring partner, no matter the rank.When facing lower level students, show spirit and practise

good control. When facing your peers or higher levelstudents practise good focus and timing. This is as muchtraining for you as it is for them too.Respecting the seniority system: understand that rank isall about responsibility, not about privileges. As you gainmore experience and move up the ranks consider it yourduty to be a role-model for those that follow. It rests uponyou to show others the way. Show proper etiquette if youexpect others to do the same.Bow every time that you enter or exit the dojo.Stand at the entrance and face the front of the dojo.Standing bow: with your heels together and the feetpointing outward in a ‘V’ shape face the person you arebowing to (or the class) and bend at the waist. Keep theknees and elbows straight, and the hands open with thefingers tightly next to each other and over the seams of yourpants. Do not bend more than 20 degrees or so and take afew seconds to bow.Opening SequenceAt the call to ‘line up’ move quickly to the end of the linewhich will form faming the front of the dojo. Stand next tothe other beginners. Shoulder to shoulder at attention. Theline of students will form from left to right with thebeginners at one side and the advanced students to yourrights, facing Sensei. At the call ‘Seiza’ kneelMaintain a nice posture, back straight, head straight,shoulders relaxed. Looking straight ahead. Rest you yourhands (open, fingers together) on each respective thigh withthe fingers pointing slightly inward. Keep about a two fistdistance between your knees.

At the second command ‘mokuso’ close your eyes, bringyour hands together facing upwards to rest just before yourlower abdomen. Draw a deep breath and focus yourthoughts. This is a time to meditate about the instructionyou will receive. Breathe through your nose and let the airfill your stomach, exhale slowly through your mouth. Thisis called ‘fukushiki-kokyu’At the third command ‘mokuso yame’ open your eyes. Atthe last two commands ‘shomen ni rei’ and ‘sensei ni rei’ or‘otagani rei’ bow in the kneeling position. Return tostanding when instructed.For the remainder of the class follow your fellow studentsand copy what your instructor shows you. Whenever acommand is given, reply ‘osu’ (ous)Closing sequenceThe closing sequence also follows a series of formal steps.These are identical to those listed for the opening sequence.Arigato (thank you)

What is Karate?oFirst and foremost, Karate is the Art of SelfDefenceoWe defend ourselves by using a combination ofblocking, evasion, striking, kicking, submissionand where necessary disarming strategies.oWe protect ourselves by learning to avoid thesituations that will lead to us having to employ theabove-mentioned skills.oWe deter attackers by developing an air ofconfidence that tells would be attackers that we arenot victims, we are not vulnerable and we thereforecannot be bullied, because we have mastered theabove-mentioned skills through diligence, hardwork and commitment to our art.

What to expect from training.JuniorsooooooThe focus with junior training is on developinga sound knowledge of the basic karate movesWe aim to teach young students how to protectthemselves and more importantly how to avoiddangerous situations.The class is both fun and informative youryoung studentsStudents are allowed to travel at their ownpace, their confidence in performing themovements of katas and drill will increaseovertime.Students will be offered the opportunity tograde only when their instructor believes theyare ready to take the next stage of theirjourney. The student is welcome to declinethe opportunity if they themselves do not feelready and would prefer to attempt to grade atanother time.While students are always encouraged, theywill never be pressured to advance.SeniorsooTraining for a senior student is more advancedin regards to technique and complexity.A person’s ability is taken into account – age,weight, previous injuries, illness etc. all playan important role in their ability to performcertain tasks. One of the beautiful thingsabout karate is that it was designed as alifetime pursuit of perfection. Class membersdo not compete amongst each other as ameasure of their own personal achievements,instead we judge our success on our ability toperfume a task better than we did the lasttime.

The Meaning of the Kofukan LogoThe Kofukan logo combines three swords and a circle.Swords have special meaning in Japanese society.During the samurai era, samurai were the ruling class.A samurai sword was said to the ‘soul of a samurai’ itrepresented a code of honour.The samurai sword represents ‘spiritual purity’. Itsmirror like surface reflects one’s weak mind andimproper thoughts. Its razor sharp blade will cut themaway. Many Shinto shrines have swords as theirtreasure.The three swords in the logo represent the ‘shin’ (Mind)‘Gi’ (technique) and ‘tai’ (body). These are the threemain purposes of martial arts training. Throughpractice, a martial artist should develop a ‘strongbody’, ‘correct techniques’ and ‘correct attitude’ andhopefully attain a high level of spiritual achievement.The circle represents ‘harmony’ and ‘perfection’.These three aspects should develop in harmony andinto perfection. In the design, the circle of harmonyjoins the three principles together.So the Kofukan logo represents the purpose of martialarts training in general and of karate study within ourassociation in particular.The three Japanese letters within the circle mean‘Kofukan’ the two larger letters at either side of thecircle read ‘shito’ (our style). Also the area inside the

circle represents the lower abdomen (tanden) as thelinking point of the three aspects that is mind, bodyand technique.We chose the colours black and yellow gold for ourassociation badges as they are the colours of the tigerand in order to make a link with the name of Kofukan,which literally means ‘tiger, wind, establishment.The Meaning of KOFUKANoooKo – is the tigerFu – is the windKan- establishment, group or organizationAccording to Chinese legend the king of the sky is thedragon and the king of the land is the tiger and whenthe tiger appears the wind blows and when the dragonappears so do the clouds.

Kofukan & KataThe role of kata in the life-long program of karatetraining:“ Karate is handed down from generation to generationby means of ‘katas’. Old masters created katas topreserve techniques and strategies which they haddevised and used them to teach their followers.Masters of each generation created new ones andamended old ones and now there are quite a variety ofkatas, which have been handed down. Although karatehas now spread world-wide, as a rule only those kataswhich originated in Okinawa or those from South Chinawhich were developed in Okinawa are considered to beproper traditional katas, although a few frommainland japan can be included.Because Master Kenwa Mabuni, the founder, studiedkatas more profoundly and widely than anyone else inrecent history, Shito-ryu has inherited more katas thanany other single school”(Keiji Tomiyama, Fundamentals of Karate-Do 1990 P.127)
