Procedure for bowing in
a class
The
students (Jeja) line up in the training hall (Dojang).
The senior student brings the class to attention (Charyot) and calls
‘Sabumnim Gae Kyong Ye’ (Bow to the instructor).
The next most senior student tells the class to face the senior student
and repeats’Charyot, Kyong Ye’.
This is repeated at the end of the class. Followed
by the instructor saying ‘Hae San’ (Dismissed)
If the instructor is 4th degree – 6th Degree use ‘Gut
Gae Sabumnim Gae’ instead of ‘Sabumnin Gae’.
If the instructor is a Master 7th degree – 8th degree then use
‘Sahyumnim Gae’.
If the instructor is a 9th degree Grand Master then use ‘Sa Song
Nim Gae’
If there is more than one instructor the class bow to the most senior instructor
first, then to the next most senior.
