I agreed to all the above waiver of liabilities by signing my name of this liability waiver for WLK. I agreed to WLK’s SCHOOL DISCIPLINE POLICY as below. WLK’s Martial Arts After School Program is a program based on the contract between parents and legal guardians and their children for taking martial arts classes. To maintain a safe and qualitatively sound program, we occasionally find it necessary to apply our discipline policy.

We feel that effective and positive methods of behavior management are:
(1) REDIRECTION: We will stop the child and calmly learn what has happened, why, and how they see the issue, and then suggest other ways of handling the situation. Then, we will redirect their attention.
(2) SEPARATION: We will have the child play apart from the rest of the group and rest for a short time. This allows them to calm down. Then we will explain other ways of good behavior.
(3) If a child's behavior remains problematic, a parent conference will be held. If there is little or no improvement in the child's behavior after the parent conference, termination of enrollment may become necessary. Termination of enrollment will be at the discretion of WLK’s staff.

Testing Fees. In order to cover the costs of registration, promotion, certificates and a new belt, a testing fee is charged at each examination.
4. Entire Balance Due. If you repudiate this contract in writing, breach any provision, or don’t make a payment within 20 days of your due date, we can suspend your membership privileges and require you pay the entire balance of what you owe, less any refund to which you are entitled as descried under “Payment”.
