Confirmation BY ACKNOWLEDGING AND SIGNING BELOW, I AM DELIVERING AN ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE THAT WILL HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS AN ORIGINAL MANUAL PAPER SIGNATURE. THE ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE WILL BE EQUALLY AS BINDING AS AN ORIGINAL MANUAL PAPER SIGNATURE.

CLASS RULES & ETIQUETTE:

1-Always refer to your instructor as "Shifu".
2-Only the Shifu makes corrections. Occasionally, the Shifu may ask advanced students to help with instruction.
3-No chewing gum or eating food while training.
4-No sitting during Kung fu class. You are here to train! Seniors in Tai chi classes can take breaks.
5-Train at the best of your ability, pay attention and follow Shifu’s instructions.
6-No talking or playing in the training hall during class.
7-No playing with the equipment in the training hall.
8-You must bring and use your own weapons during class.
10-Respect your Shifu and the other students.
11-Train with humility. Only healthy competition is allowed.
12-When training self-defense techniques do not apply excessive force, do not harm other students, be patient, and work as a team

 

ATTENDANCE:

1-Arrive 5 minutes before the start of class. You may stretch or sit in the sitting area.
2-If you are late, enter the training hall quietly, change your shoes, and join the training. Kung fu students may be required to do push-ups for being late.
3-To be admitted to sash tests, you must attend a minimum of 70% of the classes. 3 months training  with 70% attendance are required to attend a sash test.
4-If you are not going to attend class, inform Shifu Jing with a phone call, text message (best), or email. Ideally, absences should be notified 24 hours in advance; inform the Shifu of your absence at least a couple of hours before the start of class. Please do not call Jing Shifu during class times. Failure to notify your absence is disrespectful to the Shifu and the other students.
5-Freedom Kung fu may cancel classes if only one or two students will be attending the class that day. Classes with less than 5 students are considered semi-private or private classes. Freedom Kung fu reserves the right to reduce the number of weekly classes if not enough students are signed up and/or attending.

UNIFORM AND DRESS CODE:

1-Only clean, appropriate training shoes are allowed in the training hall. You must, at all times, wear the appropriate uniform to class. The appropriate dress code includes:

-Black Kung fu pants, Freedom Kung fu t-shirt, and training shoes
-No sashes/belts are required. Your martial art skills represent your level
2-Jewerly should not be worn during martial arts training to avoid injusries during sparring, martial arts applications, and acrobatics. Neckles, and earings without a pendant, are not a concern but bracelets, watches, rings should be avoided.

3=Students with long hair should tie them up.

 

TUITION AND PAYMENTS:

1-Tuition is due each month or every three months on the date of your first payment.  

2-There will be a $10 late charge for payments that are one week late, and $20 for payments that are two weeks late.
3-Students will not be allowed to train until tuition and late fees are paid in full.
4-Tuition is due every month; if you are missing classes or you will be out of town for some time, you still have to pay the tuition. Please keep supporting your martial art school.
5-The tuition is not refundable.
6-LATE PICK-UPS:

Freedom Kung fu is not a child-care center. 5 minutes after the end of class, parents will be charged a $1.00 per minute/per child for each minute they have not picked up their child past our closing time.

PHOTO RELEASE FORM

I grant permission to Freedom Kung fu and Crystal Denny to use photographs and videos taken of me, during classes and events.

I hereby wave any right to inspect and approve the finished photograph or video that may be used now, or in the future, whether that use is known, or unknown to me, and waive any right or royalties or other compensation arising from or related to the use of the photograph or video.

I understand and agree that these materials should become the property of Freedom Kung fu and Crystal Denny.

I authorize the participant's photos to be used only in the ways indicated above.

.     We strongly encourage parents to leave the room and drop in occasionally. You are required to keep quiet in class if you are staying to observe. Observing a martial arts class is similar to watching your child in regular school because there is only one person in charge—the instructor. Unless the teacher specifically asks you to, refrain from interrupting or interacting with your child or other students; doing so is disrespectful to the teacher and distracting to all of the students.

2.     Please remain in the sitting area. Dirty shoes are not allowed on the mats. Only students and instructors are permitted on the mats.

3.     Please bring something quiet to do in class to avoid disrupting the class. Younger siblings must be kept quiet and under control to avoid distractions. Turn down your cell phone’s volume and exit the room if you need to make a phone call.

4.     Children must be dropped off on time and picked up promptly. Freedom Kung fu LLC is not a daycare center.

5.     Because each child is unique, they will develop at their own pace. On the basis of the student's skill levels, the instructor does not always correct every movement.  Encourage your child’s progress and set realistic goals for them. Learning forms and earning certificates are only a small part of the big picture.

6.     Strike a balance between rules and fun; while it's necessary for kids to learn rules and discipline, over-reinforcing rules for kids who have trouble paying attention and following them can make learning boring and uninteresting.

7.     Differentiate between actions that are truly unsafe and actions that are characterized as unsafe for rule compliance. Please restrain from redirecting children in the class. Even if aware of non-compliant behavior, the instructor may decide not to redirect that child at that moment.

8.     Your kid has enrolled in a group class. Depending on the workout, students might need to wait in line for a while, especially while learning new drills. Occasionally, children may conduct themselves inappropriately or become disengaged while waiting. As students grow, focus and discipline will also get better. You can enroll in private classes if you think the class is overcrowded.

9.     Avoid confrontations with the instructor, other parents, and judges at tournaments. Our goal is to teach sportsmanship.

10.  Please inform the instructor of absences in advance or at least before the beginning of class.
