GENERAL RULES
1. Martial arts etiquette (“Yea Eue”) is
our MOST important
technique, and should be observed by all students and
instructors at all times.
2.
Always bow towards the flags (standing bow) when
entering or leaving the Dojang, and say “KUK SOOL!”
3. NO ONE IS ALLOWED ON PRACTICE FLOOR EXCEPT STUDENTS
4. Do not be disruptive — Children and visitors should remain quietly
in designated areas and not disturb students who are training
5. No Horseplay — keep “safety in practice” as a primary rule
6. When on the floor PRACTICE — when not practicing, do not linger in the
practice area
7. Never ask to be taught a new technique or form — diligent and
consistent practice of current material is the way to learn new
techniques
8. Always address instructors and seniors as “Sir” or “Ma’am” —
show respect to instructors and fellow students in training
(consequently, Black Belts should be humble and helpful)
9. No food or drink is allowed in the practice area — help us to keep our
dojang neat & clean
10. Always come to class neat and well-groomed. Make sure
your uniform is clean and neat. Shoes should never be worn on
the practice area. Feet should be clean and nails trimmed
11. Change into your uniform immediately on your arrival. Remember that a
full uniform is required for bowing in and out of class. Kuk
Sool Won™ uniform should consist of a jacket and pants, belt and
plain black (or KSW) t-shirt – color t-shirts or other types
of shirts should never be worn. Shirt tail should always be
tucked into the pants before putting on jacket & belt
12. Always be on time. If you arrive late for class, bow
in (three formal bows) and then raise your hand to be
recognized. Always ask permission to join a class already in
progress
13. When standing, you should always be in either Attention Position or
Resting Position; when seated, you should always sit formally
(kneeling, knees together and hands resting on thighs) or
cross-legged (Indian-style)
14. If you have a question for your instructor, never call him over
to you, always go to him. When an instructor is demonstrating a
form or technique, always stand in Attention Position and give
them your full attention. Always thank them for instruction
15. If you need to leave the practice floor for any reason during class,
always ask your instructor’s permission
16. Always show proper respect to those of higher rank (they have more
experience) and lower rank (they should be encouraged)
PRACTICE RULES
1.
When you first learn a technique, you should practice it carefully,
slowly and smoothly — when you begin to understand the
technique you can begin to add speed and power
2. Be considerate to your training partner — adjust your technique for
different people
3. Never try to practice a technique or form that you have not been taught,
and do not teach others without permission and/or supervision by
a Black Belt Instructor
4.
When practicing Hyung, always observe the “5 Hyung Laws”:
1) Eyes
bright 2)
Mind clear 3)
Hands fast 4)
Feet slow 5)
Stances low and stable
5. Be considerate — when practicing forms or technique, practicing
higher belts have the “right of way”
6. Remember: Practice doesn’t
make perfect — only perfect practice makes perfect
(always seek correction and train to consistently improve)
7. If you have a question, always ask a Black Belt. Get
your answers from the highest available authority. Discuss any
questions or concerns with your instructor immediately
WEAPONS RULES
1.
Do not touch weapons or other training equipment without permission
2. Always treat your weapons with respect and observe proper weapons
etiquette at all times
3. Do not handle any weapon unless you have been trained in its use
4. ALWAYS replace any weapon or other equipment in its proper place after
use
5. School weapons are for beginning instruction ONLY — once you have been
taught its use you should have a personal weapon for
training (you will not be taught another weapon until you have
your own weapon for form/techniques you already know)
6. Do Not leave your personal weapons in the dojang — they should be
brought to class when needed and taken home when you leave (a
weapons bag is a good idea)

do anything that may be a distraction
