Dress Code and Hygiene Standards:
To help everyone enjoy and participate in class safely and comfortably, we have some important guidelines:
​
Gis must be clean and free of significant odors. For everyone’s safety, no jewelry is permitted, including necklaces, rings, earrings, or piercings. Long hair (touching the shoulders or longer) must be securely tied up. Nails should be kept short, and fake nails are not allowed for safety reasons. Please note that coaches cannot assist students with meeting dress code or hygiene standards. If these guidelines aren’t followed, students may be asked not to participate, and make-up classes will not be provided in these cases.
We’ll notify the primary guardian via text on the next member-service day (Monday-Wednesday) if there are any concerns. Thank you for your understanding and support in creating a safe and positive experience for everyone!
