Dojo Rules
Our rules follow basic WHS (safety principles) as well follow the same rules as set forth by Soke (refer to Hombu website http://www.bujinkan.com/guidelines.htm).
In addition we cover these basic principles:
- Personal Hygiene must be of a high standard
- Listen and learn, if you don't listen you wont learn
- Questions are welcome, but please keep them relevant
- Lateness can interrupt the flow of the class, but sometimes it cannot be avoided. Please call us if you are running late on 0409453394.
- If you know you will miss a class please let your instructor know in advance
- Drugs and Alcohol policy is straight forward, we have a zero tolerance for Illegal drugs and if you are under the influence of Alcohol you will not be permitted to train and will be asked to leave. If you have a prescription that may impact on your training please discuss with Sensei, further advise maybe taken from a GP in relation to this matter.
- respect for yourself, training partner, Sensei and the style and tradition of Ninjutsu is paramount
- Remember to respect your training partner and there remember there will be instances where bodily contact cannot be avoided and is apart of training, but depending on gender certain area's are not appropriate - please respect such boundaries.
- Leave the teaching to the Instructor, although we may want to help our training partners unsolicited teaching can become a problem. unless you are Shodan or above it is probably best to leave the teaching to the instructor.
