Make training more efficient, successful, enjoyable, and safe! Abide by policies in the spirit of Martial Arts.
1. The studio is a drug-free environment. Do not smoke or drink alcoholic beverages in the center or on the premises. CMAA will immediately report anyone using or possessing illegal substances to the police.
2. Keep the noise level down low in the lobby.
3. Do not eat on the workout floor. Drinks appropriate for fluid replacement during strenuous activity are permissible.
4. Do not stand or sit in the doorways.
5. Do not go on the workout floor if not in uniform unless given permission by instructor.
6. Be on time for class. Parents pick up students at the end of class time.
7. Do not interrupt the instructor once a class has begun. Do not signal or try to communicate with anyone in the class.
8. The lobby is not the proper place to practice.
9. No horseplay or running in the lobby area will be allowed.
10. Do not cheer, boo, applaud, or make other gestures of approval or disapproval while class is in session.
11. Do not leave children in the studio unattended. Young students or siblings should not run free in the lobby. (Once students have started class, parents are welcome to leave to run errands.)
12. Loud, crying, and/or unruly children should be removed from the lobby.
13. Absolutely no jewelry or piercings are allowed to be worn in class, testing, or tournaments as a matter of safety for the student and others.
14. Do not handle anyone’s training equipment except your own.
15. The CMAA Studio is a place for positives. If you any problem or concerns, including testing and tournament results, discuss ONLY with CMAA staff at the appropriate time and in the proper place.
16. Cove Martial Arts Academy is not responsible for any items left unattended.
17. The formal school uniform is a traditional white uniform with all appropriate patches. Students may wear a CMAA, Innovative Martial Arts Systems (IMAS), Taekwondo United, or martial arts themed t-shirt to training classes instead of a uniform top. Colored pants are also acceptable for training classes. Uniforms should be kept clean and pressed. Students must wear a complete White Uniform for all testing events (Testing, Tournament, Demonstration, etc.)
18. The CMAA staff reserves the right to refuse entry into or require exit from the facility at any time for violation of the preceding policies or any generally understood policies.
Tuition is due on the first day of the month. A payment can be made online by credit card or debit card. If a family wishes to drop a class, this must be submitted in writing to the office (covemaa@gmail.com) and this will go into effect the first day of the following month given a minimum thirty days’ notice.
To avoid a late fee, tuition must be paid in full by the 10th of each month. After the 10th of the month, payments are considered late and a $15.00 late fee will be added to your account. All tuition must be paid within the month it is due for a student to remain enrolled in class.
No refunds or deductions are given for missed classes due to unlimited weekly attendance. Please make sure students are on time for all classes. Good attendance and being on time is very important for your child to progress in advancement of training for belt progression. We require 14 attendances for each testing cycle in preparation for testing. Extenuating circumstances will be evaluated; however, if you fail to meet the attendance minimums, you will most likely not be allowed to test.
In the event of severe weather, it may become necessary to cancel classes. In general, if schools close due to inclement weather, the studio will generally be closed. You may check your email, our website, Facebook page.
