Kombat Akademy Policies

Standards

At Kombat Akademy, our mission is to provide a safe, respectful, and positive training environment where students can grow in skill, confidence, and character. Every student and family is expected to contribute to maintaining the culture at Kombat Akademy.

Attendance

Students are encouraged to arrive 10–15 minutes before class begins.
Students arriving significantly late may not be permitted to participate if they have missed the class warm-up or safety instruction.
Students should remain attentive throughout class and follow instructor directions at all times.

Uniform & Equipment

Students must wear the appropriate Kombat Akademy uniform or approved training attire for their class.
Required protective equipment must be worn during designated sparring classes.
Jewelry should be removed before training whenever possible

Health & Hygiene

For the safety of everyone training:

Uniforms and training attire should be clean before each class.
Fingernails and toenails must be kept trimmed.
Shoes are not permitted on the training mats.
Students with contagious illnesses, skin infections, or open wounds should not attend class until medically cleared.

Training Conduct

Students are expected to:

Treat instructors, staff, teammates, and visitors with respect.
Follow all instructor directions promptly.
Display good sportsmanship during training.
Train with control and prioritize the safety of training partners.
Respect all taps, verbal submissions, and instructor commands immediately.

The following behaviors are not permitted:

Parent Expectations

Parents are an important part of our Kombat Akademy community.

We ask that parents:

Allow instructors to coach and correct students during class.
Avoid coaching from the sidelines or interrupting instruction.
Treat all students, parents, instructors, and staff at Kombat Akademy respectfully.
Address concerns privately with Kombat Akademy staff rather than confronting other students or families.

Progressive Discipline Policy

Our goal is always to correct behavior through coaching and communication whenever appropriate. Depending on the severity or frequency of the behavior, disciplinary action may include:

Verbal correction or warning.
Temporary removal from an activity or the remainder of class.
Meeting with the student and/or parent or guardian.
Behavioral probation or suspension from training.
Membership termination.

While we strive to work with every student, repeated or serious violations of Kombat Akademy policies may result in immediate suspension or termination of membership at the sole discretion of Kombat Akademy.

Membership Termination

Kombat Akademy reserves the right to suspend or terminate any student’s membership when continued participation is determined to be detrimental to the safety, learning environment, or overall culture of Kombat Akademy.

Reasons for suspension or termination may include, but are not limited to:

Repeated aggressive or unsafe behavior.
Bullying, intimidation, or harassment.
Physical or verbal threats toward students, parents, instructors, or staff.
Repeated failure to follow instructor directions.
Disrespectful, abusive, or disruptive conduct.
Creating conflict or a hostile environment within Kombat Akademy.
Intentional disregard for Kombat Akademy safety policies.
Repeated violations of Kombat Akademy rules after prior coaching or disciplinary action.
Conduct by a parent or guardian that disrupts the learning environment, creates conflict with other families, or interferes with the instructors’ ability to safely manage classes.

Membership termination is intended to protect the safety and positive culture of Kombat Akademy and will only be exercised when Kombat Akademy determines that continued participation is no longer in the best interest of the student body or staff.

By training at Kombat Akademy, students and parents acknowledge and agree to abide by these policies and understand that maintaining a safe, respectful, and supportive training environment is a shared responsibility.
