The Karate instructor should arrive at class early, help to clean the dojo with the students, and should not leave after class, until all of the youth are picked up by their parents.
As the saying goes, he or she should be the first in and the last out.

"Karate Jutsu" means "China Hand art". Karate came to Okinawa from China. Only in the 1930s or so, was the term "Karate" changed to mean "Empty Hand". "China Hand" was used in Hawaii until after World War II, and is still used in some dojo.
For more information, please visit the Hawaii Karate Seinenkai website.
The spirit of Karate is the Aloha spirit.
