Good Fight Martial Arts “I have Fought the Good Fight, I have Finished the Race, I have Kept the Faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7 Welcome to Good Fight Martial Arts! We are a Christian Martial Arts club. If you choose to join our group, you are in for a great experience. Martial Arts is a fun, exciting, and safe way to improve physical condition, relieve stress, and learn self- defense. American Open Style Karate covers a vast amount of material including kicks, punches, blocks, sweeps, forms/ katas, weapon training, and self-defense. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to participate in sparring and weapons seminars, tournaments, demonstrations, and other related activities. Read the following information carefully. The next pages will give important information regarding class policies and procedures. All students (and parents if applicable) are expected to be familiar with this information by the end of the first month of training. Registration: Prospective students will complete a New Student Profile and a Liability Release Form. There is a one time enrollment fee of $15.00. The enrollment fee and a minimum of one quarters’ fees are due at the time the student(s) begin the first class. New students should wear loose clothing such as shorts of a modest length or jogging pants. You can enroll for one or two classes per week. Students pay quarterly for lessons which vary slightly between schools. Our Brooksville school is based on a calendar quarter while the Dade City school follows the Pasco County school schedule. Attendance: Attendance at karate is critical for advancement. Students should arrive on time to all classes. It is recommended that students arrive early and check in. quietly prepare for class, and begin stretching in the back of the room to warm up. The warming up time is critical in preventing muscle injuries. When prior classes are dismissed, students may take their places in line and continue stretching until instructions begin. Each belt level requires a minimum number of classes to qualify for testing. Refer to the “Testing” section for details. There will be other training opportunities that will count as class attendance such as tournaments, guest lectures and demonstrations, sparring and weapons seminars. These opportunities will be announced as they are scheduled. Four consecutive misses without consulting the instructor will result in being dropped from the class with the possibility of being replaced by a student on the waiting list. Tardy: Excessive tardiness will result in additional exercises and affect test grade scores for attitude and attendance. Equipment: All uniforms and equipment should be purchased through Good Fight Martial Arts. Equipment needed includes a Gi/uniform, sparring gear and as a student advances they will be trained on various weapons. All equipment orders must be paid for in advance and checks should be made payable to Rick Barker or GFMA. Contact: Rick Barker 352-457-3783 e-mail to rick@gfmartialarts.com |
