Ask permission to join class if you are late.
During class you should:
Bow to the flags when you enter and leave the practice area.

Turn and kneel to tidy your uniform and belt.
Say “Yes Sir” or “Yes Ma’am” to respect others.
Concentrate and listen in attention position or sit correctly.

Train positively and never give up.
Only practice what you have been taught by the instructor.
Never ask to be taught; you will learn new material when you are ready.

For Parents
Reception area:
Please feel free to watch classes, but do so quietly so as to not disrupt learning.
Please keep siblings quiet.
In regards to training:
Set your child the goal to improve, not to achieve the next belt.
Be completely honest with your child regarding their ability and keep it positive.
Be careful not to compare your child with other children.
Be helpful but please don’t coach your child.
Teach your children to enjoy the thrill of competition – not winning or losing.
