Code of conduct for all members of the Blue Dragon Dojang

Courtesy; towards others

Members of the Dojang should at all times endeavor to be polite and inclusive in their attitude and behavior toward others. To be non-discriminating across lines of race, sex, age, gender identification, or looks. To demonstrate brotherhood/sisterhood and respect towards all fellow students and other martial arts practitioners and give deference according to the belt rank system of hierarchy.

Integrity; within yourself

Members of the Dojang are expected to conduct themselves with a high level of integrity including such traits as honesty, forthrightness, and consistency of character. While you are wearing your Do Bok, Blue Dragon insignia, or at any martial arts function you are representing the Blue Dragon Dojang and are expected to behave accordingly.

Perseverance; through hardships

Members of the Dojang should be aware that the journey to attain a Black Belt is a difficult one. One that most will not succeed at. They will need to be steadfast in their pursuit of their goal despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. They must be humble and accept their level of mastery and the speed at which they are advancing, while at the same time, be pushing themselves and striving towards the next step of their training.

Self Control; Master yourself, master the world

Members of the Dojang are expected to operate with a degree of self-control both within the Dojang, and in their personal lives. Behavior such as lying, cheating, stealing, harassment, or misuse of the art taught at the Dojang is unacceptable and may cause you to be suspended, removed from group class, or banished from the Dojang.

Indomitable Spirit; Rise to the challenge

Members of the Dojang are expected to foster in themselves, and in others on the same path an unyielding determination to overcome life’s challenges. To demonstrate the ability to push forward when pushed back, to stand up when knocked down, to understand that victory does not come when you are no longer defeatable but when you are willing to take one more step than your opponent.
