π₯ Welcome to Widnes Martial Arts: Understanding Etiquette
At Widnes Martial Arts, we believe that martial arts training extends beyond physical techniques; it’s about cultivating respect, discipline, and courtesy both inside and outside the Dojang (training hall). As a new parent, your support in reinforcing these values is invaluable.
π€ What is Etiquette in Martial Arts?
Etiquette refers to the system of behavior that governs our actions, reflecting respect for ourselves and those around us. In Kuk Sool Wonβ’, etiquette is integral, guiding interactions within the Dojang and in daily life.
π§ For Our Young Students
We encourage our students to:
- β Follow Dojang Rules: Adhere to the guidelines posted at the entrance.
- β Show Respect: Greet instructors and fellow students with a bow and a polite “Hello Sir/Ma’am.”
- β Be Punctual: Arrive on time for classes. If late, seek permission to join and explain the delay.
- β Practice Courtesy: Allow senior members the right of way and thank them when they offer assistance.
- β Extend Respect Beyond the Dojang: Demonstrate good manners and helpfulness at home, school, and in the community.
π¨βπ©βπ§ For Parents: Setting the Example
Your involvement is crucial in reinforcing the values we teach. Here’s how you can support your child’s martial arts journey:
