School Attendance Policy

Students should notify your instructor if you are going to miss a class via a text, email or phone call.  No exceptions.  This is just common courtesy.

Students are required to attend twice a week if they are planning on testing.

Students must attend a minimum of  24 classes and have all required stripes to test.

Students attending once a week with test for half belts regardless of the skill level of the material taught.  Students must also have all 5 stripes required to test for a half belt.

If you miss 3 months or more you must restart your stripes on your belt.  The old ones will be removed or replaced with Red Stripes until you relearn each requirement.

If you take a break (not a medical leave) from training for more than 9 months you will be reset to a lower rank as result of missed training.  Basic level belts will begin at white belt again.  Intermediate Belts will begin again at Green Belt.  Advanced Belts will reset at Brown Belt level.  This is not a punishment but a true idea of where you regressed physically in training.  Black Belts are exempt from this rule.

Student pay tuition for an average of 8 classes a month.   With this in mind we offer far more classes monthly to help you reach your goals.  You may make up classes throughout the month to stay on track for testing.

We do not pro rate except in extreme circumstances.

We do not refund tuition or extend your training time for missed classes.  There are many extra monthly classes for you to attend to meet your requirements. 

You must pay a $10 late fee if you are 1 day past the required date for tuition payment.  You may always pay early or for multiple months if you wish. 

If you have any questions regarding these policies please see your instructor.
