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.
