Doh Jang holds the similar meaning to DoJo in Japanese Karate, which means training hall in Korean. In the Doh Jang, one must show respect to the Master and those who hold higher ranks than you are or seniors as we call.
Before starting the training, the students will be stand in their position regarding their ranks. The highest rank will be stand at the most left side followed by those whose ranks are lower than theirs until the lowest. Afterwards, the senior who holds the highest rank will shout: "Jun Bi" (which means be ready in Korean.) Everyone must be at a state of readiness for their body cannot move an inch. Later that he/she will shout: "Charyiot" (meaning attention in Korean.) follow by "JyongGye" (meaning bow in Korean.)
Whether you are in training with your juniors or seniors or even sparring with them. In Tae Kwon Do, you must bow with them first before you start, it is a symbol that you respect them as well as letting them know that you are ready.
