Policies

  • Please aim to arrive 15 minutes prior to the beginning of class and come prepared.
  • If a student arrives late to class, the student must gain the instructor’s attention, come to attention stance, bow, and ask, “Sir/ma’am, may I please have permission to enter class?”
  • If a student would like to visit another studio within their region, they must ask their chief instructor. The chief instructor will contact the receiving instructor. Once an agreement is met, permission for such a visit will be granted.
  • Gup students must obtain a minimum rank of Orange belt with a stripe or a maximum rank of Brown belt before they are required to purchase sparring gear.
  • Students who attend all classes are expected to arrive to class and have a seat on the floor against the wall before class starts.
  • Any Gup student who is testing for Green belt, Green belt with a stripe, or Brown belt will wait a minimum of 6 months between each rank. Additional ranks may be subject to waiting longer between testing cycles based on the Chief Instructor’s decision after evaluation.
  • All students who are at the level of sparring are required to wear protective wear and a mouthpiece.
  • No refunds will be given at any time. The 4-week trial program is your opportunity that provides you with an appropriate time frame to make decisions about classes.
