Bruce Taekwondo Academy offers students an opportunity to learn various martial arts in a family oriented atmosphere. General information about our school and programs is listed below. Contact us if you have any further questions.

Free Program Trial:
We offer 2 Free trial classes for anyone interested in joining any of our programs. Participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian while attending the trial classes. All students must sign a liability release waiver in order to participate in any of our training programs.
 

Class Attendance:
We believe class attendance is an important element for learning and advancement in each program. "The benefit you receive is based on the effort you put into your training" This includes class attendance as well as personal training time. An attendance book is located near the entrance of the Dojang where students sign in as a record for class participation.

We ask that all students arrive at least 10 to 15 min. before your scheduled class time to allow for adequate pre-warm up. This will also give those students time to ask any instructor questions they may have. We require students to demonstrate respect towards others by not distrupting class by late attendance. If students are more than 5 minutes late without advanced permission, they will be asked to not participate and attend another scheduled class.

Parents / Spectators:
Parents and Spectators are welcome to observe class as long as they are not a distraction to class activities. Instructors work diligently to train in a non-distractive environment to ensure an adequate, consistent, and safe training environment.

	Spectators must not interact with their children during class. Class instructors are the only individuals in charge of students. Interrupting or interacting with a student during class would be disrespectful to the instructor and distracting to all of the students. Please refrain from all interaction unless asked by the instructor to do so such as helping with equipment.
	Spectators and Students shall silence cell phones. If a call must be taken, you are asked to respect others and step outside of the training facility.
	Students are expected to be picked up promptly following class.
	Spectators should pay attention to what their children are learning in class and reinforce their positive behavior at home. Parents are an important part of the Academy's Team and are a great influence to their children by working to improve their child's training outside of class. Parents are encouraged to set goals with their child to help develop perserverance and self discipline in order to achieve personal success.
	Parents that have a concern about their child's training, progress, or about the school should discuss matters directly with the class instructor and not with other students. This enforces a positive environment and maintains respect towards the Academy's staff.
	Spectators are asked to be encouraging to all students in the school during class, promotion, tournaments and demonstrations. Through your example, students will also learn to encourage and support each other. Respect shall be demonstrated during all organizational functions, including judges and other tournament officials. Showing respect and courtesy teaches students good sportsmanship and character.

Rank Testing:
As students progress, they will be eligible for promotional testing. Our promotional tests occur every 2 months; this allows the student to have adequate time to prepare for each level. A pre-test is conducted 2-3 weeks prior to the scheduled test date to determine eligibility. After passing this pre-test, each student will receive a test application. Test fees are based on program and advancement level.

Tournaments:
Bruce Taekwondo Academy’s primary focus is on the teaching of marial arts. Throughout the year, Tournaments are scheduled and students may compete on a voluntary basis. Students are not obligated to participate in Tournaments. However, students are encouraged to compete and we understand that this form of competition is not for everyone. Students benefit by participating in Tournaments as a tool to supplement their skills with real-life application.

Sportsmanship – The focus for our competitors is on improvement and self-discovery. From these experiences, students learn what it means to be part of a team, how to overcome fears and obstacles, and how to handle unexpected situations with grace and dignity.

Bruce Taekwondo Academy teaches Olympic Taekwondo Sparring. We are a WTF school and a member of USAT (formerly USTU).
