Filix 

1) I must make all the improvement pointed out by the sensei during the class.

2) I should always have knowledge of the grading chart. If I am asked by the Sensei. 

3) I must do all the homework that the sensei gives me on time. 

4) I must have impeccable etiquette each lesson. In order to progress to Grading’s. 

5) I must respect the sensei and my fellow students at all times. 

6) I must listen to what the sensei tells me and take the necessary action. 

7) I must come prepared to each class mentally physically and spiritually, in order to do my best. 



Sensei's Notes 

1) The karate-ka must attend a minimum of two classes per week in the period of three months in order to qualify for grading. 

2) Don't be late for training in regular basis. 

3) Student must behave like ladies and gentlemen at all time. 

Misbehaving will result in not being allowed to take part in grading even if they know everything for their level.  

4) If the student is being told off regularly or has been punished for more than two times in the period of three month will result in not being graduated.

5) Never talk back to the sensei. Say USS yes USS no with a gentle bow upon command. 

6) Don't forget your protective gear in regular basis.

7) Don't allow yourself to be asked twice in regular basis. That indicates that you are not listening paying attention, interested and so on. 

8) When you asked to improve on something whether is techniques or etiquette ACT straight away. 

Make sure your sensei know that you are acting. 

Remember if you don't act and you keep doing​  it in regular basis you may lose your chance of graduation.

9) The karate-ka should always put effort; stay focused, show respect and interest during each class in order to progress. 

10) The license must be up to date in order to do the grading. 

And finally, 

Every karate-ka must know and learn what is required for the grading’s (Kata - Kihon and Kumite) in order to be graduated.
