A Renewed Focus on Personal Responsibility...
At KC, we believe in shaping each individual into well-rounded, responsible, respectful people. Historically, part of these lessons in responsibility and accountability was our enforcement of consequences for students arriving late or not coming to class in appropriate attire (Uniform pants, either KC T-Shirt or Uniform top, AND BELT). Since the COVID shutdown, we have been pretty relaxed on the enforcement of these rules. However, effective immediately, we are going to re-up our commitment to helping our students become more responsible and self-aware.
Students must be on the mats on time! This means arriving to the dojang 5 minutes before their scheduled class to allow time to get shoes and coats in the cubbies, tie on belts, or whatever else they need to do.
Failure to arrive on time will result in students needing to ask for permission to enter the mats and performing one push-up per minute they are late. 5 minutes late? 5 push ups. Students arriving more than 15 minutes late to any class will not be allowed to join class as it is unfair and disruptive to the other students.
Students must attend class with their appropriate attire: Uniform pants, either KC T-Shirt or Uniform top, AND BELT.
We have a "strike" policy for not arriving in proper attire/belt:
For WHITE - HIGH PURPLE Belts, you get two strikes before you will not be allowed to participate in class.
For BLUE-HIGH BROWN Belts, you get one strike before you will not be allowed to participate in class.
BLACK BELTS: you will not be allowed to participate in class without appropriate attire and belt.
If students are disallowed from participating in class, they may sit quietly on the side of the mats to learn from watching or practice in the back room.
Please encourage your children to take responsibility for their uniform and belt at home, know where their belongings are, and plan ahead of time to ensure they have their gear ready on TKD days.
