Medical Conditions:

Any medical conditions such as a heart condition, diabetes, asthma etc. must be made known to the Instructor before any training commences. If it is deemed necessary, a doctor's note may be required to say you are fit enough to train.

Medical Disorders:

Applicants who suffer from any medical disorder must attach to this form a letter from their doctor confirming that they are fit to practice Taekwondo. Failure to do so may invalidate insurance cover.

Beginners:

New beginners will be given an insurance/membership form to complete and return within the first seven days of training. However, it is the GRADED student's responsibility to make sure his/her insurance is kept up - to - date NOT their Instructor.

Arrival:

Students must be in the dojang 10 minutes before class begins unless prior permission is agreed with the Instructor.

Make sure your name is entered on the register before bowing again and leaving the Instructor.

Late Students:

The Martial Art way is to be ready to train but students must wait at the side of the dojang until acknowledged by the Instructor. When the student is invited to join in, first bow and then follow in at the

back of the room, noise to be kept to a minimum.

Uniform:

Uniforms must always be clean, pressed and with the belt tied BEFORE entering the dojang. You should bow on entry and again when leaving the dojang.

Put the art into use for self defence or in defence of the weak, and never to abuse my knowledge of the art.
