- Punctuality is highly valued, so it is important to be on time for training sessions.
- Appropriate behavior is expected at all times within the dojang.
- If you are late for a session, you must wait for the instructor’s approval before joining the group.
- Participants who repeatedly arrive more than ten minutes late will no longer be allowed to participate in the session.
- A clean and ironed dobok must be worn at all times during training sessions.
- Hands, feet and nails should be clean and well-maintained.
- Do not wear sharp objects or outdoor shoes in the dojang.

- Drinking, smoking or eating is not permitted in the dojang.
- Chewing gum is also not allowed.

- your opponent,

Free taster session for new starters
Before participating in a physical exercise program at Taekwondo4Fitness, all participants must complete a Booking Form. The form includes a Taekwondo Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (T-PAR-Q) and a Safety Note. The T-PAR-Q is a short and easy-to-administer questionnaire that helps uncover any health and lifestyle issues and identifies any family history of illness before starting the Taekwondo training program.
There is no obligation to sign up for regular classes if you decide it’s not for you!
Club Registration
After the free taster session, a club membership application and consent form must be completed in full and signed with the appropriate fee and training costs. You can use these online forms for adults and children.
There is no membership or joining fee for Taekwondo4Fitness, but a nominal handling fee of €15 is required for registration and renewal.
Local members intending to take part in any Slovak Taekwondo Association WT events or exams are obligated to pay an annual fee.
Insurance Cover
The participation is at your own risk – you acknowledge this when completing the PAR-Q.
Personal Accident Insurance is additional, optional insurance that members can purchase individually if needed. Taekwondo4Fitness does not offer private accident insurance.
Attending classes
Members are allocated a place in a class of their choice and are subject to availability. If the class is full, new starters or members will be offered a spot on the waiting list for the course required.
Class attendance is strictly monitored, and the members are expected to attend all sessions on time during the specified term. Members must notify the instructor of any sessions during which late arrival or absence is expected (sickness, injury, etc.).
Members may be offered an alternative session to attend in place of a missed class. In general, missed sessions are not transferable or refundable with less than 24 hours of notice. This is at the discretion of the instructor.
Only members who can commit to attending classes consistently every week will be allocated a place in class. If attendance becomes inconsistent, Taekwondo4Fitness is not committed to holding the member’s position in the class. Taekwondo4Fitness can offer the place to a new starter or member.
If members should miss two subsequent sessions, they lose the right to their place in that class. This place will be released to a new starter on the waiting list or another member.
In case of a prolonged injury/sickness where the member has informed Taekwondo4Fitness, we will try to offer a place back at the original class as soon as possible. We will provide an alternative at the moment; however, this cannot be guaranteed, nor is Taekwondo4Fitness obligated to provide this.
The option to pay monthly offers discounted classes when attending consistently. If a member pays monthly, this does not include special events, i.e. gradings, seminars, competitions, etc. No refunds will be given in the event of missed sessions, regardless of the reason.
For any child under 16, written consent is required from a parent or a legal guardian. This will be provided to Taekwondo4Fitness before the commencement of classes after the first trial session. This consent is to be given via the club registration and consent form.
Ten-Minute-Rule
There is a 10 minutes rule in place. Participants who repeatedly turn up later than ten minutes are no longer allowed to participate in the session. Members who turn up late within this time slot are requested to wait at the entrance area until the instructor asks the student to join the class.
Class Changes/Cancellations/Closures
Taekwondo4Fitness reserves the right to change and cancel classes when necessary due to bad weather conditions, instructor illness, unforeseen circumstances and any other issues that may stop the class from happening.
If Taekwondo4Fitness has to cancel sessions for any reason, no refunds can be given; however, an alternative class may be offered where possible.
If the number of students is low in a particular class, Taekwondo4Fitness reserves the right to cancel this class at any time. Class cancellations will be notified via the Taekwondo4Fitness group on WhatsApp and Facebook or via text messages/emails to those students who have permitted this kind of correspondence.
Taekwondo4Fitness reserves the right to change the training schedule, add and remove classes where needed, and look after to minimise the impact on members as much as possible.
Taekwondo4Fitness closes on Bank Holidays and over the Christmas period. Taekwondo is under no obligation to refund class fees for this closure period; no refunds will be issued.
Over the school holidays, if the facilities are unavailable, classes may be offered at a different facility depending on the costs and availability. This is subject to charges and availability.
Taekwondo4Fitness may be closed for two weeks over the summer holidays. The incurred amount will be credited to the bank account of students who pay monthly for their classes.
Complaints
If you are unhappy with the service offered, then please, in the first instance, raise your concern with the instructor after the class.
We take your concerns very seriously and will try to resolve the matter as quickly as possible. If the problem is unresolved, please email Taekwondo4Fitness at [email protected] within seven days of the issue being raised. A response will be sent within 14 days of receipt of the email.
Instructor Qualifications & Standards
The coaching staff are fully qualified, insured, and DBS certified. The instructors are trained to recognise the signs of child abuse. If a child discloses or the coaching staff believes that the child is suffering from abuse, we will follow the Safeguarding Policy.
Film/Photography
Taekwondo4Fitness may take photographs or film during a class from time to time. The parents/guardians who do not wish for their child to be photographed or filmed must make Taekwondo4Fitness aware of this at the club registration or in writing before the activity commences. This data is used only to promote and publicise Taekwondo4Fitness through our website, social media or literature.
Health & Safety
Coaching staff hold emergency first aid certification issued by an appropriate body. The parent or legal guardian must check with the instructor before leaving a child in the class.
The parent or legal guardian must come into the club to see the instructor before leaving a child and return to collect their child from the venue.
The parent or legal guardian ensures the child does not leave the venue without a parent/guardian.
If the parent or legal guardian cannot collect their child, the parent or legal guardian must inform the instructor about the person receiving their child.
Taekwondo4Fitness holds no responsibility for any matters outside of class times and outside the venue.
By agreeing to these terms and conditions, you are providing consent for Taekwondo4Fitness coaches to administer all necessary first aid to your child at any time.
Holidays
Members must inform their instructor of any holidays where they will be absent. Failure to do so may result in the member’s place being offered to a new starter or member.
Liability
By completing the PAR-Q, you acknowledge that participation in Taekwondo4Fitness is undertaken at your own risk.
Members have the option to individually purchase Personal Accident Insurance, as it is not provided by Taekwondo4Fitness.
Taekwondo4Fitness assumes liability only in cases of proven negligence resulting in death, personal injury, or property damage caused by their coaches or organization. In such instances, the liability of Taekwondo4Fitness is limited to the amount equivalent to the class fee paid.
Medical information
Any medical condition that any participant may have or may arise must be fully disclosed at the time of registration and to the instructor before the class commerces. Failure to provide such information could prove a health risk. Taekwondo4Fitness takes no responsibility for students/parents who fail to disclose such issues and thus put themselves, their child, and other participants at risk of injury or medical complications.
Personal Property
Taekwondo4Fitness cannot be held responsible for theft, loss or damage to any personal belongings left inside or outside the venue.
