MARTIAL ARTS MANNERS
The Do-Jhang(studio) is a place to learn and practice Martial Arts. While in the
Do-Jhang, students must follow basic rules. These rules are enforced to
maximize the effectiveness of the training environment and to place emphasis
on the development of the students’ mind and body.
- Students and instructors will face the flags and place their right hand on
their chest over their heart each time they enter or leave the classroom areas
to demonstrate respect to the instructors and fellow students.
- If students are late for class they should ask permission to enter class.
Permission must be obtained to leave the class for any reason.
- Students, siblings or friends should not play with the equipment or on the
mat without permission from the instructors.
- Students will turn away from their instructor and flags when adjusting their
uniform or belt.
- Students avoid unnecessary conversation in the class.
- A clean uniform is imperative in each class. This is a reflection of the
student’s pride. Students should help to keep the Do-Jhang neat and clean.
- No watches, rings or jewelry of any kind may be worn during class.
- Students who will have an extended absence, 7 or more days, from training
need to notify the office as a matter of courtesy.
- When waiting for class, students must sit quietly along the side of the mat.
- Students must conduct themselves in a PROPER MANNER at all times,
maintain a POSITIVE ATTITUDE and always set a GOOD EXAMPLE.
- Since our professional master instructors focus on instruction, once the first
class starts, Masters are not allowed to talk with parents. If you have any
questions or concerns, please contact office to address your matter.
It is expected that all students will be dedicated, disciplined and actively
involved in the promotion of Martial Arts and will preserve order in the Do-
Jhang. The techniques you learn are not to be applied outside the Do-Jhang
unless circumstances involving your safety or the safety of others are
overriding!!!How to tie belt 1. Loop the belt around the body twice 2. Take the end from the outside loop and tuck it underneath both loops 3. Take the end from the outside loop And fold it across the front, under the other end 4. Take the end hanging down and tuck it into the loop made by the folded end Pull both ends tight Belts must be tied neatly and the ends should hang evenly.

and upBELT STRIPE SYSTEM
Students of TIGERDEN show their progress in the color belt
they wear. Each color belt is a step toward the goal of Black
Belt. During our students’ regular class time they will be given a
stripe on their belt to show that they can properly perform that
technique.
There are 4 different color stripes. A student is eligible to take
a belt promotion test when his/her belt displays a full stripe of
green, blue and yellow each and they he/she has received a belt
promotion application form.
Belt promotion tests are conducted every other month (even
number months). In order to qualify for a reduced rate, a
student must fill out the test application form and submit
payment before the due date.

report card and attitude during TKD classes.
