ATTENDANCE:
- Arrive 5 minutes before the start of class. You may stretch or sit in the sitting area.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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
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.
Students with long hair should tie them up.

- Tuition is due each month or every three months on the date of your first payment. There will be a $10 late charge for payments that are one week late, and $20 for payments that are two weeks late.
- Students will not be allowed to train until tuition and late fees are paid in full.
- 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.
- The tuition is not refundable.
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.
