What we teach in Dojo:

A dojo is a school where Karate is taught. In the Dojo, we learn Shido-kan Shorin-Ryu style Kata, Kumitae & Bunkai depending on the rank. A Kata is a sequence of moves that were proven to be effective in defending self and others. A Kumitae is working with a partner practising what is learned in Kata. And a Bunkai is the application of Kata & Kumitae. 

All the Karate-ka would be taught the same way and once Sensei feels comfortable with the student learned the required Katas, Kumitae & Bunkai,  a test will be conducted in the dojo.  The student advances to next rank and learn new things. And it goes on...Though we do not have any contracts or commitments, it is recommended that students continue learning & practise the skills.
