Code of Conduct

 

Martial arts is a highly effective method of self-defence
and must only be used when absolutely necessary, and then only with the minimum
force required sufficient to subdue the attacker or stop him or them. You
must not attack first unless your life is in danger and there is no other
action open to you.

When practicing care must always be taken at all times to avoid
accidents, and you must respect your training partner. Any accidents or injury
must be the responsibility of the individual concerned and not the association.

    around, smoke, drink or chew gum or sweets. Never enter the training hall
