✔️ Uniforms / Hygiene
Uniforms – Please arrive to class in or bring a clean uniform
Uniforms should be washed frequently for the safety and comfort of all attending classes at the dojo.
The gi (uniform) is a functional piece of attire used in classes (meaning we grab and touch uniforms). – keeping a clean uniform helps keep all participants safe.
For students who are of age to consider – please apply deodorant before attending classes.
Rings – Magnus Karate does not permit rings on finger or toes during classes, students will be asked to remove them when attending class
This is a safety issue for both the wearer and the other participants in the class.
Earrings – Magnus Karate does not permit hoop earrings or large style earrings during classes – these are a safety issue. Studs are permitted, however Sensei does not recommend earring wear during class.
Finger Nails & Toe Nails – Students are required to attend class with clipped finger nails at finger tip and toe tip length. Long nails or un smooth nail surfaces have historically been a primary driver of cuts during training.
Rash Guards – If you own a Magnus Grappling rash guard they should be washed directly after every grappling class practice.
✔️ Saturday Class Availability – Reminder
As a reminder Saturday classes are available from September 1st through May 31st at the dojo (annually).
There are no pro-rates or refunds for any Saturday classes canceled due to dojo special events (such as belt tests).
Our schedule will be updated for June 1 through August 31
An email will be released in March with our June through August schedule plans
Annual Announcement: During the months of June, July and August the dojo will not offer Saturday morning classes (4 options for each Age 7+ group will be available from Monday through Thursday in June, July, and August).
✔️ Parental / Guest Lobby Viewing Expectations
Creating a distraction free environment at the dojo is one of our main priorities. To help us to do so…
Parents are asked to refrain from excessive and loud conversations while seated in the lobby during active class time.
Please consider stepping out of the dojo to have long and potentially loud conversations
Our dojo is open to the lobby so the noise carries onto the floor and it is a distraction to our students and Teaching Team.
Avoid multiple entrances and exits during active class time
Our teaching team is trained to be aware of the doors opening and closing – for safety purposes – so multiple exits and entries causes interruption to instruction.
Please refrain from attempting to get your child’s attention during class time (i.e. waving at them, tapping on the window to get their attention, pacing back and forth at the viewing window)
Parents and guests are not permitted to enter the dojo floor during active class time
The only exception to this rule is for use of the bathroom.
If mats are rolled out onto our floors please avoid stepping on them with your shoes on. This is a sanitary issue.
Parents are prohibited from stopping class instruction to make an announcement to their children while they are on the dojo floor (example – you want to let them know you will return at the end of class, or want to give them water or remind them about something in your schedule). Please ask a teaching team members to get your child’s attention and ask them to step out into the lobby where you can address them.
