The Role
Once again,
thank you for choosing our Karate program. We are pleased with the
community response to our new facility and we always welcome your
comments. To assist Karate Arts in maintaining its high level of
satisfaction, there must be communication between parents, students
and instructors To help your child develop self-control, discipline
and respect, our instructors will need your full support.
The Role of The Parent
1)
Always refer to the instructors by their titles; ex: do not call
Sensei Lee "Lee". It is disrespectful. It is important to set a good
example for your children.
2) Talk to your children about Karate and share in their
progress.
3) Parents must make sure that their children come to class
prepared.
4) If you need to see an instructor please make an
appointment, so they can give you their full attention. If your
child is having problems that we can help with, let us know. We will
set up an appointment with Sensei.
5) Testing is the decision of the instructors. The testing is
based on the individual students capabilities. Please do not compare
your child to another. Look only at the progress your child has
made.
6) As your child progresses, it is important to encourage
their efforts in training. As their rank increases, the training
becomes more challenging and sometimes they will become discouraged.
It is important as parents and instructors to make the difference
between a child who meets and overcomes challenges and one who
merely gives up. The encouragement of your child?s efforts takes on
a new significance at this time.
7) Finally, one of the best approaches to helping your child
with his/her training is to put on a Gi, jump right in and learn
about the Martial arts first hand. Not only will you get a lot out
of it, but the bonding between child and parent grows stronger.
The Role of The Student
1)
All Students are
required to wear a clean and complete uniform.
The only t-shirts that may be worn are school shirts. Come to class
prepared with your belt and safety gear.
2) No running in the Dojo (with the exception of class
warm-ups).
3) Absolutely no talking or horseplay while waiting for
your class to begin.
4) Students must address the instructors by their
titles; ex: Sensei
Connie, Sensei Lee, etc.
5) Be on time for your class.
6) Help keep your Dojo clean, pick up after yourself.
(that includes not dumping trash in the parking lot)
7) Do not enter the Dojo floor while class is in
session. Follow the red line to the waiting area and wait until
class is dismissed.
8) For your safety and the safety of your classmates,
please refrain from wearing jewelry during class.
9) No eating or drinking in the Dojo.
10) Pay respects to your Dojo by giving a courtesy bow
when crossing the red line while entering and exiting the Dojo
floor. Always face the Dojo area when paying your respects.
