How should a student enter the Karate Center?
All students need to bow properly upon entering the school’s front door. Students are then requested to then greet Master Rifkin and all present Black Belt instructors; the student needs to wait to be acknowledged then bow as a form of respectful greeting. The student, in uniform, then needs to enter the designated training room for that class and line up his/her shoes neatly along the rail, place their training bag beneath the benches and wait quietly for class to begin. If they so wish, the student can warm-up/stretch in the private lesson room adjacent to the large mat if the room is not already in use. Upon leaving the school, the students must bow to the instructors as a proper farewell and again at the front door.
