1) It is everyone's responsibility to maintain the traditional rules of conduct in the  DO-JANG; this spirit comes from Korean culture and must be respected, honored and maintained.

2) It is everyone's responsibility to create a positive atmosphere of harmony and respect.

3) The DO-JANG must not be used for any other purpose, unless expressly ordered by the  SABOMNIM (master).Este  DO-JANG  strictly follows the traditional rules of good conduct. Its spirit comes directly from Korean culture and is a place where teachings are transmitted. It is up to each student to honor them and follow them seriously. When you enter the  DO-JANG, enter a different world, world of warriors. It can be a place of respect and friendly camaraderie – or a lair of paranoia and distrust. At the  DO-JANG  of  HAPKIDO  we attack and we are attacked, we improve our ability to respond intuitively. It is the underlying current of social etiquette and behavior that allows us to safely practice, discipline and redirect aggressive reactions and develop feelings of compassion and respect.  HAPKIDO  it's not a sport. It is a discipline, an educational process for training the mind, body and spirit. The physical technique is not the real objective, but only a tool for personal improvement and the evolution of the spirit. The ceremony that opens and closes each practice of the  HAPKIDO  it represents a formal bow to the flags of Brazil and Korea, then bow to the founder and the last bow between instructor and student. The bows and flags symbolize respect for our country and the motherland of  HAPKIDO, as well as gratitude to the founder who developed this system of practice and study. The correct utility of respect, sincerity and humility, as well as the proper atmosphere, are essential to the learning process; and how the  HAPKIDO  is a martial art, they are essential ingredients for the safety of each individual.

4) Initial and final concentration is a way of performing clearing of mind and spirit.

5) It is the decision of the  SABOMNIM  when he must teach some technique. Techniques cannot be purchased. Tuition is a small installment to help pay for training site expenses and is a very small way to demonstrate the student's gratitude to the teacher for his teachings. Since no one likes to spend money, "paying" is a clear sign of wanting to be grateful. If the person does not spend money and just maintains the expression of gratitude with words and gestures, this is not enough, as it can be faked and disguised. Usually the "smart ones" adopt this attitude. They receive attention, teaching, and precious time from the  SABOMNIM, using their gym and their materials and then wanting to leave just giving them smiles, complimenting them and saying "thank you" with enthusiasm. This attitude is necessary but not sufficient. You should always give money or gifts back to people, as this is an unmistakable way to express gratitude. And do it discreetly, putting it in an envelope without fuss like "Hey! You've done me a service and now I'm paying you." There is no way to pay the master for the teachings the debt remains forever. The money eventually paid is just a token of gratitude.

6) Respect, respect, respect, is a continuous thought in the  DO-JANG.

7) It is everyone's moral duty to use the techniques for peaceful purposes, always aiming to build.

8) There should be no ego conflicts in the  DO-JANG.

9) Insolence will never be tolerated, we must be aware of our limitations.

10) Each person has different conditions and reasons for training.

11) You should never argue with the teacher.

12) Never fail to bow when entering and leaving the  DO-JANG.

13) Respect your training uniform, it must always be in good clean condition and appearance.

14) The  DO-JANG  it's not a beach, always sit in MURUP KURO or cross-legged oriental style in case you have knee problems.

15) When the  SABOMNIM  demonstrate a technique, always stay in  MURUP KURO; then bow and start practicing immediately. Avoid talking during training, focus and look for answers.

16) When the end of a technique is assimilated, say hello to your partner and immediately go to your place where the class starts.

17) If it is absolutely necessary to ask something to the  SABOMNIM, go to him, don't call him to you.


18) Respect more experienced students, never discuss if the techniques are wrong or not.

19) If you are not  YU DANJA (black belt), don't correct anyone.

20) Don't talk over the  DO-JANG. HAPKIDO  it's experience.

21) It is everyone's responsibility to maintain the  DO-JANG clean.

22) You must not wear jewelry or chew on the  DO-JANG. Besides the body only the uniform.

23) If you need to temporarily leave the  DO-JANG, ask permission from  SABOMNIM, but only do it in case of extreme need. "Despite the  HAPKIDO  not be a religion, the  DO-JANG  or place of practice must be respected as a temple, because that is where we train to improve and refine our spirit." If you do not agree with these rules, you will not be able to study and practice the  HAPKIDO in this  DO-JANG.
