Terms & Conditions for Children  
 
Your child’s welfare is of the utmost importance to us at the Kinkan Dojo, and these terms and conditions have been put in place to ensure your children can practice martial arts in as safe an environment as possible.
For the purposes of the Application Form “STUDENT” or “STUDENT’S” refers to the child who is participating in the training programme and who is under the care of the signatory on the Application Form.
The “PARENT” or “PARENT’S” refers to the parents or carer who has full parental responsibility for the child undertaking the training programme.
If you have any questions concerning these terms and conditions, please do not hesitate to speak to one of our instructors.
