This includes CP, Autism, partial blindness,motor skills, we have one child in Elgin with Juvenile Parkinson's right now. • We adapt techniques,skills, and patterns to fit their ability • If a student has a specific challenge we request to know at registration for we can prepare. We ensure they are included in as much as the training as possible. For example if we are working on flying kicks and the student is not able to we will have an instructor work with them on a different task they are comfortable doing. We do not just have them sit out. Equipment and Supplies we will supply: • We supply heavy bags for kicking and striking. Our bags are in excellent condition and purchased from either Century Martial Arts or Tiger Claw both leading manufacturers of martial arts equipment. • We supply target pads and body shields again for kicking or striking. Same as above. What the participants are required to bring and /or purchase: • On the first day of class we ask the students wear lose comfortable clothing and nothing heavy. • Bring a water bottle for water breaks. • Uniforms (Doboks) —we will sell the students their uniforms at a cost of$45 • Sparring equipment — when a student is ready to spar (controlled contact fighting) they are required to purchase a full set of safety equipment at a cost of$135. The equipment is made out of dipped foam for protection—headgear,hand pads, foot pads, shin pads, mouth guard, and cup for males. Safety and emergency factors we share with our student: • TaeKwon-Do is a contact activity and we take every precaution to ensure our students remain safe and injury free. Our instructors follow guidelines that our beginner group is not allowed to make contact to other students with strikes or kicks as they do not have proper control or skill level to spar or do contact drills with others yet. They are allowed to strike the heavy bags and target pads to gain that level of control and skill. We inform our students and their parents about this and it is followed. • At the beginner level they will make contact with other students doing HoSinSul (close quarter self- defense work). This is where we instruct the students "if someone grabs you or comes at you" how to protect and defend. This activity is closely monitored. • At the intermediate and advanced levels we allow sparring (contact controlled fighting) and is always closely monitored. Any student who will participate in sparring is required to wear all the protective gear which includes: dip foam helmet, hand & foot pads,shin pads,mouth guard,and protective cup for males. We only allow controlled / light contact sparring. The beauty of TaeKwon-Do is the ability to control your techniques being able to perform techniques at full speed with control and focus just touching your partner. We stress"full power"is only used when you have to actually defend yourself. • At intermediate and advanced levels we also instruct board breaking. This is done to demonstrate the power and effectiveness of techniques. Again this is only done under close supervision and only after a student has demonstrated they know proper technique and ability. • There are inherent risks of injury anytime in martial arts and we take every precaution to prevent them. We pride ourselves on our record we have had only minor injuries or accidents and nothing serious. If something does happen we take immediate action to aid the student as well as notifying the parent(s) and the facility we are instructing at. • We keep ice packs on hand in the event of a bump or bruise. • We do ask if a student has a medical condition or special needs such as: asthma, autism, heart condition, etc. that we are informed so we can assist in their training in a safe and careful manner. All information is kept confidential with the instructors. Instructor qualifications: • All of our instructors are certified through the Midwest Martial Arts League, the International TaeKwon- Do Federation, and the United TaeKwon-Do Alliance. Each instructor has successfully attended and passed International Instructors Certification process as well as Instructors Master Classes. • They also go through constant training with me and are experienced working with children. • Our instruction team: c Dan Valin — 9'F' Degree Black Belt: 47 years of training and instructing.
