What is Zen Do Kai?
The Japanese literal translation for Zen Do Kai is “the best of everything in progression".
This means that ZDK encompasses aspects from many Martial Arts disciplines and puts them together into a system for learning self defence. A self-defence that works!

DOJO RULES
Your first time to the dojoYou are interested in starting your martial arts training. Firstly it is a good idea to ring the instructor to inform him/her that you are interested in attending. They will them go over all that you need to do but if you don’t wish to ring it is ok just to turn up on the required night.
It is a good manners to turn up 5 to 10 minutes before, then introduce your self and tell the instructor if you have or have not had any training before. This will help the instructor with idea on what to start you with . What to Bring? Wear something comfortable for eg. Track pants or shorts, shirt . To most classes you should bring your own water and towel .
Entering the Dojo
Bow on entering – This is to pay respect to the “Kamiza” the seat of the Kami this is usually where a picture of the founder or head instructor is placed. We bow for acceptance to train and to be aloud in to learn their “way”.
Bow when leaving to thank the dojo and the Kamiza and instructors.
Etiquette of the School
Students often ask, “what is required of me?” How do I make sure I am not being dis-respectful by mistake?”
Basically; let common sense be your guide while you are in the Dojo. Obviously loud talking, horseplay, sloppiness and disrespect have no place in martial arts Dojo, especially (though not limited to) while a class is in progress. There is a good chance that a class will either precede or directly follow yours, show common courtesy by allowing those students the opportunity to train with as few distractions as possible
The Rules of the School
1. Be respectful when speaking to the Chief Instructor or any of his assistants.
2. Do not join or leave a class in progress without permission from the instructor teaching.
3. “Un-sportsmanlike” conduct such as profanity, obscene gestures or actions; unnecessary roughness to a fellow student, sexism or racism will not be tolerated.
4. All students are expected to be courteous and understanding. Higher belt students are expected to set a good example to the lower belt students and assist them whenever necessary. Lower belt students are expected to obey and show respect to the higher belt students.
5. No drinking, eating or chewing gum on the Dojo floor.
6. Smoking is not allowed anywhere in the Dojo school.
7. No working out on the studio floor while a class is in progress.
8. Students are expected to do their part to keep the school clean.
9. Equipment must be returned to its proper place after use.
10. For your own protection, you may not spar without proper safety equipment. Finger and toenails should be cut short because they could cause injury when one is training with a partner. It’s also important not to wear any jewellery because in may hurt us or our partner.
11. All students must bow toward the front of the Dojo (instructors stand) when entering and leaving the Dojo. Shoes off at the door and placed to the side or carry them with your bag. (Never carry your bag on your shoulder in a dojo)
12. When lining up always walk behind everyone, never walk in front of the line or instructors.
13. Juniors must go to the toilet and have a drink before class.
14. Put your hands up to ask questions
15. Junior student must respect the advice from a senior student even if they are a white belt.
