- We come to the dojo 15 minutes before the start of keiko (training) so that we have time to change and prepare the equipment.
- Entering and leaving the room, we make a rei (bow) towards kamiza (the center of the room).
- We inform the sensei (trainer) if we want to stop the training and leave the room during the exercises.
- Before training, we check that the bogu elements are in good condition and that the shinai slats are not cracked.
- After training, carefully fold the armor, hakama and keikogi.
- We place the equipment as close to the wall as possible. If we want to move something, we move it with our hand.
- Avoid the equipment lying on the floor so as not to get caught on it.
- We let our partner practice at their own pace, we don't show impatience and we don't correct them.
- We do not move between people set up for a gathering or matched in pairs.
