UNIFORM
It has been brought to our attention that some instructors and their students do not wear their ‘dobok’ (taekwondo uniform) during class proper.
As such practice is not acceptable and attracts adverse comments from activity administrators and the public, we would like to advise all instructors to be in their uniform when they are conducting classes.
They are also to ensure that their students are appropriately attired. Instructors and students should be proud to wear their uniform which portrays the image and spirit of the art and sport of taekwondo.
