When I set up my dojo the rules will be
1. Safron keiko-gi hakama
2. Veils instead of men towel
3. Multi coloured himo
4. We will say "Om" during mokuso
5. The big drum at the end of the class will be replaced with the tabla and sitar
6. Heads will be shaved with the option of leaving a little dangly bit at the top back. For girls legs and armpits will not be shaved.
7. There will be no tsuki, ni-toh or jodan. We will all practice chudan in peace.
8. "Kote", "men" and "do" will be replaced with "Hare", "Krishna" and "Rama".
9. The standard uchi-komi-geiko pattern will be:
Hare-Krishna, Hare-Krishna
Krishna-Krishna, Hare-Hare
Hare-Rama, Hare-Rama
Rama-Rama, Hare-Hare
and will be accompanied by the tabla and sitar mentioned earlier (and some tambourines played by the beginners)
10. Keiko will be very cheap, but you will be obligated to raise money for the club by practicing uchikomi-geiko in public places.
