How to be a Great Training Partner

A dojo is more than a training room. It’s a commitment by everyone who trains there to create a safe, respectful space. Training with a partner is a great way to achieve that – at JMAC, we thrive together. 

When training with a partner, remember to be respectful. There are many ways to show respect in the dojo. Practice good personal hygiene and always wear a clean uniform. Be present and pay attention to your partner, their needs, and your sensei. How we present ourselves reflects our respect for our instructor, classmates, dojo, and culture.

How to Create a Supportive Dojo

Your dojo is more than a place to get a great workout. It’s a safe, respectful place to learn and thrive together – a place where character is developed and strengthened. But that doesn’t come from the uniform or the mat. It comes from the people, and everyone at the dojo plays a part. 

Whether you are young or not so young, new to martial arts or an instructor, you can be a positive and supportive force in your dojo. 

One way you can make a positive impact is when you’re training with a partner. Being the best training partner not only helps your partner, but is an important stage in your own development.
