Full Refund: If a refund is requested at least one week before the start of the month, a full refund will be issued, minus a $25 administrative fee. Partial Refund (Medical Only): Refunds requested within seven days of the start of the month or after the month has begun will only be granted for medical reasons, with a doctor’s note required. The refund will be prorated based on the number of remaining classes, minus the $25 administrative fee. No Refunds for Missed Classes or Sick Days: Missed classes will not be refunded and make-up classes might be available at sensei’s discretion. Members are responsible for their attendance and commitment.

A student’s enrolment may be terminated at the instructor’s discretion under the following conditions: 1. If a student requires one-on-one supervision and is deemed “not ready” for group training. 2. If a student has difficulty following instructions and staying engaged in class. 3. If a student frequently wanders off during instruction or activities. 4. If a student engages in inappropriate behavior, such as but not limited to: 5. Hitting, pushing, or causing harm to others. 6. Yelling, harassment, or showing disrespect to instructors/assistants. 6. If a student’s behavior is disruptive to the learning environment and negatively impacts other students. 7. If a parent/guardian repeatedly questions or challenges the instructor’s curriculum in a disruptive manner or shows disrespect toward the instructors or assistants. Students deemed “not ready” for participation may be invited to return at a later date, based on the instructor’s assessment (e.g., next session, or in six months).

Attendance & Disciplinary Policy: • If a student is absent for three consecutive classes without prior notice, they may receive a warning notification and may be suspended from the dojo for one week without the opportunity to make up missed classes. • Repeated unexcused absences may result in expulsion from the dojo. • Late Arrivals: If a student arrives 15 minutes late without prior notice, they will not be allowed to join the class. • If a member is injured and unable to train, they are strongly encouraged to attend classes and observes what is taught; this avoids the need to apply for a leave of absence. Leave Of Absence & Withdrawal Policy: • Members must continue paying dues unless they formally withdraw or request a leave of absence. • The maximum allowable leave of absence is two months. o During this time, members must pay 50% of their monthly dues to maintain their membership. o Exceptions for medical leave may be granted on a case-by-case basis. • Students returning from an extended leave of absence may be subject to a reduction in rank based on skill retention and training consistency. Vacation Policy: We understand that students may need to take time off for travel or personal reasons. However, to ensure fairness and maintain dojo operations, the following policies apply: Short-Term Absence (Up to 2 Weeks in a Month): • If a student will miss one or two weeks in a given month, the full monthly fee still applies. • Missed classes cannot be refunded or rescheduled, as class spots remain reserved. One-Month Vacation • If a student takes a full month off, they may choose to: 1. Pause their membership and lose their reserved spot. Upon returning, they must re-register if space is available. 2. Hold their spot by paying a reduced fee of 50% of the monthly tuition. This ensures they can return without re-registering. Extended Vacation (More than One Month): • If a student takes more than one month off, their membership is considered on hold, and they must: 1. Pay a 50% hold fee for the first month of absence. 2. After one month, membership will be paused, and re-registration will be required upon return. • Returning students may be subject to skill assessment to determine their readiness for grading or class placement. Important Notes: • Vacation holds must be requested in advance—failure to notify the dojo will result in automatic withdrawal. • Students who stop attending without prior notice will need to re-register as new students upon return, subject to space availability. • Extended absences may impact grading eligibility, as consistent training is necessary for progression.
