Expectations

  • In order to create a safe and effective learning environment we have the following expectations:
  • Expectations of Students: No chewing gum. No talking during class. Wear loose fitting, comfortable clothing (make sure your pant legs are well above the ankle to prevent slipping and injury). No outside shoes allowed for class -- you must be barefoot unless wearing approved shoes that are used only for martial arts practice.
  • Respect for the instructor and fellow classmates at all times. Any student not listening or causing class disruption will be required to do push-ups or focus training and may be asked to leave the class if the problem persists.
  • Practice outside of class time is needed if you wish to become proficient -- instructional aids, including videos/DVDs and booklets are available to assist with home practice. Students must promise not to misuse techniques learned in class.
  • Expectations of Parents: Be sure to walk your children into the building and to drop off and pick them up inside of the building.
  • Please take small children not participating in the class out of the room.
  • Parents may watch the first class, however due to limited space and to minimize distractions, parents will be asked to remain outside of the classroom/gym for the remainder of the session (except for pickup and dropoff).
  • If your child has a health problem or injury, please be sure to let the instructor know.
  • There is no video taping permitted except at tiger kids tournaments -- instructional aids, including videos/DVDs and booklets are available to assist with home practice.
  • Please see the instructor before or after class or call (425) 774-ARTS (2787) for further information or questions/

Remember: fewer distractions + less noise = a better learning and teaching environment.

Testing

  • Testing in the martial arts plays an important role in the development of confidence and self-esteem by teaching children to set goals and overcome doubt, achieving those goals and moving on to more difficult goals thought unattainable.
  • Testing is an optional but very important part of the training offered and all students should test. It is a way of rewarding achievement and showing progress. As your child demonstrates proficiency and passes each belt level examination, he/she will be allowed to move to the next level of training, stay longer in class, and learn more advanced techniques.
  • Testing requirements vary according to age, ability, and level of the student. The Belts page provides more information on the requirements of each belt/sash.
  • After your child completes the first 7 week session, he/she is eligible to test for a yellow belt.
  • Testing is usually done during the last two weeks of each course.
