SPECTATORS

Spectators will be respectful of the coaches and allow them to provide the training. It can be difficult to run a class with several people shouting from the viewing area. Because of this, no outside coaching is allowed.

Spectators are requested to sit quietly to ensure an effective training environment and to further reinforce the discipline that is expected with martial arts.

Spectators are responsible for their child’s behavior if he/she is not participating in class.  Children not participating in class should be under the supervision of a parent/guardian at all times.  Aside from a service animal, no pets will be allowed in the academy.

Spectators are asked to step outside for personal calls; no speaker calls nor meetings via devices inside the academy. 

Spectators may take pictures/video during class; however, no pictures/video may be captured during seminars without express permission.

Ask the instructor if you have any questions or concerns about anything.

Respect those you train with and your instructors.  Rank is a symbol of knowledge and wisdom.  Respect the academy.
