Entering and exiting the training floor

It is considered customary and courteous for students to bow as they enter or exit the Do-Jang training floor.

Proper forms of address

The proper way to address instructors, seniors, or students of higher rank is by calling them "Sir" or "Ma'am." Answer questions from instructors, seniors, or students with "Yes, sir/No, Sir" or "Yes, Ma'am/No Ma'am." Students are expected to address their parents in the same manner not only at the Do-Jang, but also at home.

Straightening your do bok

From time to time, it may be necessary to adjust your do bok or re-tie your belt. The proper way to do this is to turn toward the back of the class when adjusting your do bok. It is considered discourteous not to do so.

Lining up

Students line up at the beginning and end of class in order of rank. Higher ranks are in the front, lower ranks toward the rear.

Punctuality

Students are expected to be on time for classes. If you are late, wait at the back of the room until the instructor gives you permission to join the class.

Uniforms and Equipment

At Great Lakes Global Taekwon-Do we have a dress code requiring the official ITF uniform with registered logo. Students are required to purchase their uniforms and equipment from the school.
