[KarateJason]

I havent been to class in too long and would like to come back. My sensei teaches MMA with a healthy dose of traditional okinawan karate. That being said, are there any rules or customs that I should follow for my return? A couple of years ago a student from another dojo to train while in town and wore a length of rope for his belt. Is there some sort of protocol I need to follow or should I just show up and get ready to gert beat on a bit?

Just call ahead and say "hey- I'm coming back- is that cool?".

If they make you do any wierd shit just find a new place...
