Attendance:

Please arrive to class on time! Students who arrive after the start of class will be required to perform pushups. 

Practicing at Home:

Practicing at home is vital for the student to progress in martial arts training. 80% of what a person learns is directly attributed to the amount of time a student spends taking what they learned in class and practicing it at home. All you need is a little space and as little as 15 minutes a day. Not having enough space or time is no excuse not to practice. Some of the activities, such as stretching and balancing, can be done while you are wasting your time watching TV! The best time to practice would be before dinner or as a study break from homework. Remember the saying, "Practice makes Perfect." If you are not sure about any of these activities please ask your instructor. Practice takes discipline and in order for it to be effective, you must develop a habit of practicing. Start today and monitor your progress for 21 days straight, by then you should have developed a habit of practicing.

Taekwondo Curriculum:

All students are required to keep a binder/folder containing their curriculum checklist and any notes they wish to take. 

Sparring and Protective Equipment:

Due to mandatory insurance regulations, all protective padding, helmet, gloves, shin guards, chest protector, groin protection (for males), and mouth guard are required. All sparring gear can be purchased from Martial Fitness Taekwondo at a wholesale rate through Century Martial Arts or Hayabusa Fight. Any sparring gear not purchased through Martial Fitness Taekwondo must first be approved the instructor. All sparring activities must be supervised by an adult Black Belt.

Promotions:

EVERY DAY IS TEST DAY! Once the student has completed their curriculum checklist, they are ready to schedule a promotion. On the day of promotion, the student will demonstrate their newly learned skills. Promotional fees are $10 and must be paid for and scheduled in advance to ensure your belt is ordered and arrives on time.

Tuition Payments:

Students should provide the instructor with their email to receive invoices. All tuition payments are due no later than the 5th of the month and can be paid online, cash, or check. All checks must be written out to “Martial Fitness”. Students who earn their Black Belt through Martial Fitness Taekwondo are eligible for 50% reduction in their tuition costs. YOU’VE EARNED IT!

Uniform:

A white or black student uniform is included when the new student passes their initiation requirements. Students are required to submit an order form with their uniform size and color preference. Any additional uniforms must be purchased separately. Uniforms must always be clean, odor free, and pressed before each class attended. Martial Fitness Taekwondo T-shirts are allowed instead of the uniform top during the summer months.

Holiday Closures:

The school is typically closed for most major Holidays. Please check with the J. Bryan Floyd Community Center for all holiday closures.
