*Clean up after yourselves. Equipment is not to be left all around the training area.
Respect the facility. Please follow the rules of the building as well as ours.



Parents

* Parents are not permitted to coach / instruct their students from the sidelines. Definitely support your children and enjoy watching them learn & grow – but we will handle the coaching🙂

* Please do not interrupt the classes with loud talking  during lessons. It can disrupt the children and hold back their attention to the lesson.

* Respect the facility.  Please follow the rules of the building as well as ours.

* At tournaments & events, do not act in any way that will shine a negative light on the gym (towards referees, coaches, other competitors etc). There is a zero tolerance policy towards this for team members including their parents.

* Nobody under the influence of alcohol or drugs will be allowed on the property of the training gym.

* If your child is having difficulty in school or having any issues at home etc, please do not punish them by taking Taekwondo away from them. Sometimes martial arts training can provide the boost they need to increase their focus in these areas. Removing Taekwondo as a punishment often makes things worse as it eliminates an outlet for stress and a positive influence during difficult times. Talk to us and we will try and help your child overcome these obstacles through our teachings.

* Please refrain from coming unto the training area to fix uniforms or equipment of your children. While your child may be comfortable with you, it an be very terrifying at times for the child next to them as they may not know you. If we require your assistance, we will be sure to get you.

*Depending on the severity, violation of these rules may result in termination of membership
