The dojang is a place of physical and spiritual development.
Each practitioner at the entrance, during training and leaving the dojang,
Must respect and act in accordance with a number of rules
which form an integral part of the education of the Taekwondo practitioner.
Every practitioner must not only respect them, but make sure they are respected. |

- A medical certificate attesting to the physical fitness of the practitioner must be submitted at registration;
- When the practitioner enters or leaves the dojang, he or she must salute respectfully by order of rank: the presiding instructor, the practitioners of the highest ranking, then all the others;
- The practitioner must show respect to the teacher, all other practitioners in the dojang, but also to all teachers and practitioners of the martial arts;
- The uniform and hygiene of a practitioner must always be spotless. The uniform, that is the Dobok, must be clean and carry the dojang badge on the left breast. Rings, sunglasses and other jewellery must be removed before entering the dojang. The nails of hands and feet must always be cut very short in order to avoid any risk of injury;
- So as not to disturb the smooth-running of a class, the practitioner must be punctual. The teacher may refuse entry to any practitioner arriving late;
- Attendance is one of the essential elements of the practice of Taekwondo; the practitioner is invited to be assiduous and to inform teachers of possible absences;
- As a general rule, for reasons of safety, access to the dojang is reserved for teachers and practitioners. The public is not allowed in during classes;
- It is requested that the practitioner not talk during class, except if requested to, in order to avoid any risk of injury due to inattention;
- The practice of Taekwondo is guided by the principles of patience, perseverance (innaé), courtesy, politeness (yèesui), respect for others, self-control (keukki) and loyalty, and aims to encourage harmony with others;
- The techniques taught in the dojang shall not be used, save in exceptional cases (eg. self-defense), nor disclosed outside the dojang;
- If a practitioner were to injure another practitioner or any other person in or outside the dojang, the teacher is entitled to exclude them from the dojang or the entire association;
- The teaching body enforces the principles and rules of conduct set out above, and is entitled to refuse to teach or to continue to teach any practitioner who does not comply with them or whose behaviour is contrary to the principles of the practice of Taekwondo.
