I am a new student. What should I expect upon entering the dojo?

First, welcome to the dojo!

1. If not in gi uniform or athletic wear, please use the bathrooms next to the dojo entrance to change.
2. When entering the dojo, please sign in at the front desk using the laptop.
3. To your right will be the training area marked by the gray floor. Please look to the far end of the room towards the front of the dojo and give a short, respectful bow.
4. Please remove your shoes, socks, jewelry, and piercings before entering the training area.

Then you are free to socialize or begin your warm-ups on the training area floor.
