Other Details
Parental Guidance
Floor chats will incorporate the following ideas:
"Bad Guys" - anyone who makes you feel uncomfortable, including friends, family, people we know and people we don't know. When approached by "bad guys" we use our words and let an adult know right away. We only use martial arts for good, and only in self defense.
"Can you say no to an adult?" Yes, anyone who asks you to do something that makes you uncomfortable you have a right to stand up for yourself. Use your words, tell an adult, keep telling until someone listens to you.
Parents should monitor student during class to ensure all safety precautions are taken.
Supply List
Please wear comfortable clothes for each class. An open area where students can move about freely is also helpful so that the student is safe.
