Toe Chang Rules

"Toe Chang" is a Korean term. In the context of martial arts, it often refers to the training or practice area.

  • Arrive at Toe Chang (Karate School) and change into training attire promptly. Utilize any available time before class for practice.

  • Show respect by bowing to the flags when entering or leaving the training area. Extend the same courtesy to black belts present. Thank them before departing.

  • If late, wait for acknowledgment from the instructor before entering. Seek permission to join the class if necessary. Notify in advance if you expect to be late in the future.

  • Maintain discipline in the Toe Chang. Avoid idle chatter, laughter, or loitering.

  • Prohibit jewelry, gum, cigarettes, or profanity in the Toe Chang.

  • Do not enter the office area without prior permission.

  • During another class's session, refrain from distracting activities. Focus on silent practice of basic blocks, punches, kicks, or forms.

  • Obey instructions from seniors promptly. Address them with "sir" or "ma'am."

  • Ensure uniforms meet federation standards.

  • Seek permission from the instructor before leaving the training area during class.

  • Sparring must be supervised by the instructor and requires shin pads and a protective cup (for men).

  • Gup testing has a minimum two-month waiting period between attempts, although exceptions may occur at the instructor's discretion. Testing is optional; requesting it may delay your next scheduled testing.

  • To be considered for promotion, attend a minimum of two classes weekly. Inform your instructor if you can't attend for more than two consecutive days.

  • In the presence of Master Bill, show respect by not turning your back on him unless adjusting your Toe Balk. Sit with his permission, and rise when he does.

Association and Club Emblem

All students must have the patches on their uniforms. The purpose of this is to distinguish our school from others at tournaments. It is common practice for schools to have patches or printing which differentiates them from others.
