Terms & Conditions - the basics

​

By joining our school you agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions, which will allow us to provide the best service and tuition to all our students.

Training

• Regular attendance is required. 

• No jewellery or watches are permitted during the lessons.

• With prior permission from the instructor, indoor martial arts shoes or plimsolls may be worn in the short term if you have a foot condition which makes barefoot training difficult or unhygienic (such as bad blisters or verucca’s).

• Classes may already be running when you arrive, so please wait quietly outside the training area until called onto the mats by an instructor.

• Students must not change clothing or eat in the training hall. All changing of clothing should be done in the provided changing areas.

• Always inform the instructor of any injuries you may have or if you feel unwell.

• For safety, finger and toe nails should be kept short.

• Students are encouraged to bring a bottle of water to training. There may be drink breaks during the class.

• Students should not eat whilst exercising.

• Do not use or let your children use any equipment without the permission of the instructor.

Spectators​

• Parents of junior students are encouraged to watch the classes. Experience has shown that students whose parents take an active interest progress further and faster.

• Spectators should ensure that noise levels are kept low, so that the children can give their full attention to the instructors.

• If you are a parent of a child aged 7+ and are unable to stay for the lesson, please wait with your child until the class starts. Please also arrive to collect your child before their class finish time, as instructors cannot take responsibility for any child not directly taking part in the lesson.

• Parents must supervise small children at all times.

• To comply with our Child Safeguarding Policy, absolutely no photography or filming of the class is permitted.

Membership and Training Fees

• Membership subscriptions shall be due and payable on the 1st day of each month.

• All monthly payments of training fees will be made via direct debit and can be terminated with one month’s notice in writing

• Payment is to be made on a monthly basis regardless of level of attendance. Missed lessons may be made up where a suitable class is available. Instructors and venue may vary and the timetable is subject to change.

• No refund of training fees will be permitted for non attendance of lessons.

• Our classes run for 50 weeks of the year, with a two week break for Christmas. Training fees are calculated for 50 weeks training but paid on a monthly basis.

• All students and parents of students agree to observe the membership rules designed for the mutual benefit of all members. 

Miscellaneous

• In case of a fire, please follow the instructor’s directions.

• As the grades and development of our students changes, class times may change to allow a more even spread of students in the classes. Students may be required to move into a more advanced class as they progress with their training.

• Any unacceptable behaviour will not be tolerated and may result in those people being asked to leave.

• Leicester Martial Arts reserve the right to cancel memberships at any time and for any reason, and to refuse new applications for membership.

• Please feel free to speak to any of the instructors about any concerns, comments or complaints and we will do our best to resolve any issues. It is extremely important to us that you are happy with your training and membership, and we welcome your feedback on how things are going.
