The Belts
Students show their progress in the art by the color of the belt they wear. Each color belt is a step toward the goal of Black Belt. Requirements for each belt differ for children and adults. Your instructor will determine the curriculum associated with each belt level. You will see progress checks during regularly scheduled class time. The purpose of this check is to ensure each student is progressing on schedule. These checks become extremely important as each student becomes eligible to test for their next rank.
Tuition
Students who budget their programs will make their payment to Peak Performance Taekwondo. Tuition payments can be made by using your credit card, debit card or allowing your bank to make the payment (EFT). If you have any concerns with your account please contact the program director.
Viewing
Parents and family are always encouraged to watch class. However, we only ask that you respect the class by trying your best to remain quiet and keep younger children quiet and under control. Everyone appreciates your cooperation.
Dress
Student uniform consists of a white traditional Taekwondo uniform (Do Bok) and a belt. During class and any test, students are required to wear their complete uniform. Please keep your uniform clean and properly secure any patches.
Black Belt Student
Earning a Black Belt is truly a rewarding experience. Becoming a Black Belt does not indicate the end of training, but rather preparing yourself for advanced techniques and commitment to higher degrees of Black Belt. Traditionally there are ten degrees in Taekwondo. Your instructor will make you aware of curriculum requirements for this advanced level training.
Extra Help
If for any reason you fall behind and need extra help, please see your head instructor. Achieving goals at Peak Performance Taekwondo is one of the most vital instruments used in building our student’s confidence. Communication, teamwork and action are essential to obtain these benefits. Private lessons and private lesson packages are always available.
Birthday Parties
The School is available for birthday parties on Saturdays. Our Birthday Party Package is A BLAST! Friends and guests may be invited to this high-energy party that includes a special martial arts class, fun organized activities, and even the cutting of your cake! If you would like information and prices on parties, please contact the school.
Sparring
Sparring is held throughout the week and students must bring their sparring gear to every class. Due to mandatory insurance regulations, all students who attend sparring class must have foot, hand and head protective padding, mouthpiece, and groin protectors for boys. This equipment is available for purchase at the school.
Family Memberships
Once you are enrolled in a regular program, additional family members are offered a large discount on their program. Please see your instructor to make an appointment for your first class!
Principles of a Black Belt
Self-Control, Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, and Indomitable Spirit. In addition to teaching these basic principles, Peak Performance Taekwondo also introduces a new “lesson of the month” each month. Our goal is to teach students life skills and their benefits. Students are expected to demonstrate, retain and apply this material to their everyday lives.
Referrals
Any student who recommends our school to a friend who enrolls in one of our programs will receive $25 in a gift card or certificate that may be used at our school. Your referral is the biggest compliment you can give to your instructor!
Absences or Extended Vacations
If you miss class due to an illness for a period of more than one week, please notify your instructor. Please make arrangements with your instructor to make up any missed classes. Unlike health clubs you do not “loose your time” for extended vacations, we will credit you the time at the end of your enrollment program.
Testing
Testing for belts are held every month and will be announced well in advance. Their instructor will notify students as to their testing date and time. This event leads up to GRADUATION!
Students will be promoted at this event and are encouraged to bring a friend. Please make every effort to attend this truly special event.
Seminars & Advanced Training Camp
Peak Performance will host several seminars and training camps throughout the year that will allow students to accelerate their martial arts training. Guest instructors at the top level of martial arts will conduct master classes as part of these seminars and training camps. Please see your instructor for more information on this truly unique and incredible experience!
Attendance
Please make every effort to follow the school’s attendance policy. Each student will be issued his or her own attendance card. Students that attend classes at least twice every week will be awarded monthly with our special Perfect Attendance certificates. Remember that attendance is the key to success.
