What are the dojo rules?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for the University of Conn...
There is a lot of etiquette (for example, bowing) associated with traditional karate, but few rules. The line between the two is often thin. Karate etiquette is based on respect and kindness toward other people, while dojo rules are more for safety and not disrupting the class. Fingernails and toenails must be trimmed to a reasonable length (otherwise they become dangerous weapons to your partners). No jewelry (including rings, watches and necklaces) may be worn during practice.

As you continue training the outer layer of material gets worn down and the Obi becomes white again. Full circle.
