During a formal training session:

Apprentice Instructors are referred to as "SI-HING" .

Dojo Etiquette

The study of martial arts begins and ends with respect for life. Martial Artists bow to say "hello" or "goodbye", as a salute, or to say "thank you". Related to this general principle are four situations in which students must bow:

1. Before engaging in a training activity with a partner.

2. After engaging in a training activity with a partner.

3. Before addressing an Instructor.

4. After an Instructor has addressed you.

Opening Ceremony

Class begins when everyone stands in a circle.

Sifu asks: "Why are we here?"

Students answer: "To study!"

Everyone places their right fist in the centre of their straightened left palm and bows together.

General Rules

2. Tuition Fees are to be paid in advance of training.

4. If arriving late, students are to wait on the side and warm up, until Sifu gives permission to join the class.
