CODE OF PRACTICE

The key to good Aikido is harmony. This is also the key to a good and happy club. All students are expected to train with this in mind. There is no competition and therefore no room for conflict. Students are expected to train with all others without prejudice.

Assume Incompetence, and Get Taught

Assume arrogance, and don't.

Politeness and common decency are expected from all students at all times, with care being extended when practising Aikido techniques so as not to cause injury.

Aikido techniques should not be demonstrated outside the dojo. Any member found to bring Aikido and/or the CUA into disrepute will be excluded from the CUA.

Major infringements will result in immediate exclusion. For minor infringements the founder or the chairman may give a warning. Re-occurrence of bad conduct will then result in exclusion from the CUA. The decision of the founder and chairman is final.

Safety


Fingernails and toenails should be kept short.
All jewellery has to be removed prior to practice.
Weapons must be kept in good condition and covered when outside the Dojo.
Only Aikido will be practised within the Dojo, and only under the supervision of the Sensei.


It is the responsibility of all students to ensure the practice area is maintained in a safe condition. Any potential hazard should be reported to the Sensei.
Appropriate footwear should be worn at all times within the Dojo when not on the training area.
