\n\tDojo Etiquette & Rules<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAs a non-profit organization Shanghai Xijiao Aikido Dojo relies on all members’ voluntary and active participation in all kind of Dojo activities.

\n\tAs the Dojo may grow a suitable distribution of tasks and duties might be organized in order to make routine activities efficient and fairly distribute the workload among the members.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tPersonal duties and rules for everyone:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSmoking in the Dojo and practice under influence of alcohol or drugs is not allowed.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tRefrain from practice if you are ill or injured or if you carry an infectious disease.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tArrange your arrival in due time before the Keiko in order to allow you to change cloth and help with the preparation like placing the tatami, cleaning, etc.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAs to protect from injury you must not wear watches, any kind of jewelry or hairpins during Keiko. Wear eyeglasses only if necessary and pay attention that your eyeglasses shall not hurt yourself or others.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOur instructors will pay attention for safety in exercising and prevention of insuries. As you practice in our Dojo at your own own risk, please also pay attention to prevent yourself and others from being hurt or injured and take care of your own accident\/medical insurance coverage. The Dojo\/instructors are not liable for any damage or injury.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tPay good attention to the sensei’s instruction and always try to grasp the core of each instruction.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWe encourage you to also practice in other Dojos as to widen your horizon in Aikido. If you practice in any other Aikido dojo pay very much attention to the difference in their Keiko and style. Try find the other teachers’ specialty in his instructions as to learn other important details of a waza that this particular teacher emphasizes.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAs a member of the Dojo you shall always actively protect the good reputation of Aikido.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
