Zenshin dojo Karate Club

In Shin-do Shotokai we aim to maintain the highest standards of conduct within our instructor group in line with our core values of:

Honesty Integrity Openness Honour Humility Understanding   As a group practising a martial art it is fundamental that discipline is maintained at all times and examples of unacceptable behaviour would include:   Use of abusive or threatening behaviour or communication to others Any act of physical violence or assault out with the dojo

The following guidelines give examples of the standards of behaviour that we expect in our organisation:

	Treat everyone with respect
	Be noble in defeat
	Be considerate of others
	Be in control of state at all times

If any member believes that the code of conduct has been violated by any other member then there should be a complaint in writing to the executive. If any member is concerned about any violation of the code by any member of the executive then they should write to the secretary. Please note that all complaints will be dealt with in confidence with both parties having the right to present evidence.

Any such complaints will be dealt with by a panel of three members of the executive whose decision shall be final and may result in the following:

1. No action

2. Formal written apology required

3. Period of suspension

4. Termination of membership

All decisions will be communicated in writing to both parties and failure to comply with the decision will result in termination of membership or further disciplinary action.
