This is a post concerning what to expect when you walk in the doors of a Dojang.
Our Dojang, as with other schools, is accepting of walk-in students. In our Dojang, expect to walk in and, if class is not in progress, to be greeted by the owner or an instructor.
If class is going on, please feel free to either sit and watch class to its finish, or join to try it out. If you arrive to the Dojang when class ahs begun, please prepare yourself accorind to the protocol below, bend your left knee and place your right knee on the ground and wait to be acknowledged. Once the instructor sees you, he will find a place for you in class at the next break in action (no more than a minute or two).
Preparing yourself to enter the Dojang:
When you enter the Dojang, you will enter the lobby area. It is acceptable to wear your shoes, here. What you will see in front of you is the Dojang training floor. The training floor is, in sense, a sacred space. It is set apart for training the mind and the body. Shoes are not permitted. The only exception are shoes which are specially made for being worn in the Dojang and have no other use, so that outside contagens and dirt are not trekked into the school. 
If you have more questions please call the Dojang any time of the day or evening:
