Here at Mansfield karate club you can learn karate in a safe, controlled environment with expert teaching from 7th dan black belt Sensei David Allsop. From absolute beginners to expert practitioners everyone is welcome! While learning with us there are just a few things to keep in mind. When entering or leaving the dojo, stand at the doorway, heels together hands by your side in musubi dachi (informal attention stance) and bow, saying "Oss".
This shows respect for the dojo, Sensei and everyone training at the dojo. Students must bow in this same manner to their partner at the beginning and at the end of training with that person. This too is a sign of courtesy and respect, it shows good manners. All bows begin by bringing the right foot into the left foot to form musubi dachi.
