CLUB RULES

Notice to Parents/Guardians

W.T.F. Taekwondo involves learning many new ways of moving, standing and also movement of arms and legs, hands and feet. At times an instructor may needed to reposition a student with a small amount of contact.

At times the best way to learn is to see your own mistakes, we are able to do this by recording the students practicing patterns and then watching the playback with an instructor, to see what they need to put right. All recordings are held on a hard disk drive and the images are deleted after every use. The recording device itself is kept in a secure storage room. If any one wishes not to take part in this activity please make an instructor aware.

All junior students must be collected within 15 minutes of the end of training sessions. If a phone call has not been received by this time, actions will be taken to alert the police to an abandoned child.

All correspondence sent by the club to any student under 16 by post to their home address, will be addressed to the Parent or Guardian of the student.

If a minor injury occurs in a class you will be notified at the end of the session. If needed an ambulance will be called and you will be notified right away.
