Parents' Corner
Be Involved!
It is essential for parents to be involved in your child's martial arts education. All children want to please their parents, so by being a part of their martial arts education, you are reinforcing that they are important and these lessons are an important part of their life. It helps when parents:
- Watch classes
- Participate in classes when asked
- Practice with your child at home or go over videos
- Participate in tournaments, intramurals and school seminars
- Come to family events
- Give positive applause and praise after class
There is nothing more exciting for kids than doing something with Mom and Dad. You can realize some of the greatest benefits of the program with just a few minutes of practice time with your child. The special time and bonding will brighten your child's life and reinforce to them how important USA Karate training is for them.
Please consider us your partner in your child's success in USA Karate's program. Your child has a higher chance of success in achieving their goals if they feel positive support from those around them. Encourage them to do their best, and even allow them to make a few mistakes.
Responsibility
Please be on time for class. The warm-up session performed at the start of each class is very important to prevent injury during class.
Students are not allowed on the Dojo Floor until the instructor signals the beginning of class. Students and/or siblings are NOT permitted to run around or play with the equipment without a staff member present. Only the student enrolled in a program is allowed on the Dojo Floor.
Parents should accompany younger children to the restroom. Please do not leave children unattended at any time. USA Karate cannot be responsible for students before or after classes. Siblings and friends must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Attire
Please make sure your child is properly dressed for class. All Karate students must wear their full uniform:
- Black Gi Pants
- Black Gi Top with School & Flag Patch
- USA Karate T-shirt
- Belt
All shirts, whether worn alone or under the Black Top, must be tucked into pants to present a clean and neat appearance.
Street shoes/sneakers are not allowed on the Dojo Floor. Only shoes that are specifically designed for the martial arts and approved by USA Karate are allowed on the Dojo Floor. These are available for sale at the Pro Shop Store.
FOR SAFETY REASONS STUDENTS WITH INAPPROPRIATE ATTIRE WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PARTICPATE.
