September 15, 2025 #276 Dojo Etiquette
Dojo etiquette refers to the customs and respectful behaviours practised in martial arts training spaces. While the core values of discipline, respect, and safety are universal, the exact etiquette can vary between clubs, organisations, and styles. For example, some dojos may emphasise formal bowing rituals, while others adopt a more relaxed approach.
Similarly, expectations around uniforms, addressing instructors, and training rituals often reflect the traditions of the specific martial art and the philosophy of the club. The key is to observe, adapt, and show respect for the culture of the dojo you are training in.
