to participate in our class.

You may train with us as long as you like, free of charge, but
you won't be permitted to test, compete, or attend special

Once you pay the registration fee, the first month is free.
The registration fee, however, is required of everybody who

The monthly tuition is waived for parents of paying students.

Class Regular Participation Rules and Guidelines
-
A gi (karate uniform) is not required, but preferred.
You may wear sweats or other loose clothing if you
don't have a gi. You may also wear other gear, as
long as it's not distracting and doesn't hinder the
training of others.
-
Footwear isn't permitted unless you have a physical
condition that requires it, or we're training on
a surface that demands it.
-
You may chew gum during class, but once it comes
out, it stays out.
-
Bullying, intentional harm, foul language, and
other mean-spirited behaviors are not tolerated.
-
You're not required to raise your hand in order
to answer questions or leave the dojo for a
bathroom or drink break.
-
It's customary to bow at the door toward the
center of the room as you're entering or leaving
the dojo.
-
Have fun! No sense in coming if you can't have fun.
