Going forward, certificates will be presented within a few weeks of grading.

  All students are expected to:

​

* Display a high level of personal hygiene during every session, course, grading, competition or other Martial Arts related event. 

 

* Wear a clean and ironed uniform.

* Tie their grade belt correctly. If they do not know how to tie their grade belt correctly, they should ask a senior student to show them how. 

 

* Keep their finger nails and toe nails clean and short. 

​

* Remove all jewellery including watches, necklaces, rings (wedding rings may be worn) and earrings. If they can not be removed, because of religious reason, then they must be covered by a tennis style wrist band (see our website shop).

Snow heron Martial Arts provide children with a sense of pride and self-confidence, and can be a great tool to encourage otherwise shy children to come out of their shells.

 

Finding a good school and great instructor is integral to the success of the student, but it can be a wonderful, life-long relationship between the art and the student when a child gets the opportunity to begin at a young age. 

 You can support your child's success by: 

• Being encouraging: Celebrate their achievements and show interest in their progress.

• Attending classes: Show your child that you value their training.

• Practicing at home: Help them practice their techniques and skills.

• Reinforcing values: Emphasize the importance of respect, discipline, and perseverance.

• Communicating with instructors: Stay informed about their progress and any concerns you may have. 

Contrary to popular belief, Martial Arts actually help to reduce aggression in children. We teach self-control, discipline, and conflict resolution skills.

 

By channeling energy into positive physical activity, children learn to manage their emotions and develop a sense of inner calm.
