Dojo Rules

Etiquette and expectations we ask every student to observe.

  • Pre-register online and arrive early. If the dojo is in session, sit at the bench and observe proper protocols.
  • Pagpupugay — “Osu” and the Balintawak bow.
  • Essential hygiene: shower before practice, wear deodorant if you can.
  • Always wear your uniform or T-shirt.
  • Safety first — cut your nails and check your practice weapons.
  • Just leave if you can't be in harmony with anyone.

Martial Arts is a discipline of focus and understanding. On the mat, we observe proper etiquette, respect, and discipline. We ask everyone to come on time, with proper hygiene, and good character. Our topmost priority is self-preservation, harmony among members, and avoiding any form of harm or injury to anyone.
