Below is some super important reminders for students and parents for optimizing their martial arts journey at ZenQuest. Please take note of the following:
Optimizing Attendance In order to guarantee a long and successful experience in the martial arts it is very important to managing our training properly. This means setting a schedule for regular attendance and sticking to it. For children ages 7 to 12 we recommend two or three classes each week (one or two classes per week for kids ages 4 to 6.) Less than this may result in them getting discouraged because of slow progress, and more will likely result in them getting burned out over time. For adults we recommend attending two to four classes per week (in each art they choose.) Adults are usually able to manage ’burn-out’ better than kids, backing off on attendance a bit when needed.
Following Etiquette Students need to learn and be aware of the expectations in the dojo/gym for actions and behavior. This starts with being sure to arrive for classes between fifteen and five minutes before classes start. For kids, this means that parents are responsible for this part of their participation. Once at the gym, everyone is expected to follow the rules for conduct including cleanliness, coachability, and respect towards others. Students who are unable to follow the rules for conduct will experience delays in advancement and, in extreme cases, removal from the school.
Tuition Due Dates Students who choose to attend classes using ’incremental’ enrollments (those for one month, three months, etc.) are responsible for keeping track of their tuition schedule and keeping their enrollment current. Although we provide reminders at the front desk, students and parents are ultimately responsible to make their tuition payments on or before their due dates. Students must renew their membership in order to attend classes on the day of their due date. Also, missed classes may be ‘made-up’ during a student’s enrollment period, but cannot be used to extend their due date. All of these issues can be avoided by enrolling via our ’EasyPay’ subscription option. For more information on this please stop at the front desk or send us a message.
