Terms and Conditions


The use of the term student is referring to anyone who participates in Training with Tiger Martial Arts, which could be a child, or an adult, male or female.

1.0: Attendance and punctuality
It is of the utmost importance that the student is punctual to each lesson. If it is your child that is training, and they arrive before the instructor has arrived on site, it is required that you please remain with them until a member of staff is present. Until a member of staff is on site you are responsible for their safety and well-being. Should you choose to leave them unattended, we hold no responsibility for them. It is also important that you arrive promptly and on time to collect your child. Many of our instructors have other classes to teach and need to leave immediately after the class. If your lateness inconveniences other customers, or our instructor, we reserve the right to charge the cost of loss of earnings to you.

1.1: By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, it is agreed that should you drop your child early to their lesson, you are responsible for your child until lessons begin, and that Tiger Martial Arts and its owners, operators, officers, employees, instructors, students, or agents hold no responsibility over your child until the lesson has begun and they are in the training room with the instructor.

2.0: Change of location and time.
Tiger Martial Arts reserves the right to change the time or location of any class for any reason. In the unlikely event that a class is cancelled for any reason, a refund would not usually be offered, although the student is welcome to attend any other classes in the area, provided those classes are open to all Tiger Martial Arts students and are open to their age bracket.

2.1: By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, it is understood that changes may be made to location and time of classes.

3.0: Payment
Payment will be made monthly via Direct Debit on the 1st of each calendar month. Failure to pay may incur a charge of £5 for the first month of non-payment, and £10 for any following months that the payment owed is not paid. Should you refuse to pay within one month then you forfeit the students right to participate in training, and the student will unfortunately not be allowed to train with us until all payments and fees have been paid.

3.1: Should you require to cancel your membership with us, just feel free to pop us an email. Please note that we require 30 days notice for cancellations.

3.2: By agreeing to these terms and conditions, I hereby agree that Tiger Martial Arts has the right to refuse service to those who are not up to date with payments, as well as for those who continually make late payments & I understand that there is a 30 days notice period.

4.0: Disobedience and Behavioural Expectations
We reserve the right to discontinue training for any student that we deem as persistently disobedient. Should we feel we are unable to control the students behaviour, and that the child's behaviour is detrimental to the other students training, then we will be in contact and the student will be dismissed from further lessons. Discipline is embedded in the culture of martial arts, and is required for training.

4.1: By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, I hereby understand that should a student's behaviour be uncontrollable, then they will be dismissed from future lessons.

4.2: Behaviour and Wellbeing Support

Parents are encouraged to share strategies that work well at home or in school to help us provide appropriate support.

The photos will always be appropriate, and available for the customer to view upon request. The images, be they photo or video, will be stored in a safe and secure place.

5.1: I hereby grant permission to Tiger Martial Arts, Tiger Alliance and its related companies the use of the student's image, likeness and voice, recorded in digital format, without payment.

    I hereby agree that I have discussed any health problems with an instructor. I agree that I hold responsibility for any unlikely injury to the student and that the owners, operators, officers, employees, instructors, students, or agents at Tiger Martial Arts cannot be held responsible for these injuries or death. I hereby agree to the following:
  • 1. I am fully aware that the Martial Arts used will be unarmed combat, and that semi contact will be used during the session, which could result in accidental injury, or in incredibly unlikely circumstances, death.
  • 2. I understand that from time to time, there is the occasional use of safe versions of weapons, for example, foam nunchaks, wooden swords, bo staff, lightsabers, wands, and I consent to the students use of these.
  • 3. I understand that the student will be participating in strenuous physical exercise that could lead to minor or serious injury to either the student, or that in unlikely circumstances that myself or my child could inflict these injuries on another student. These injuries could include bruises, abrasions, broken bones and cartilage, concussion, organ damage, or extremely unlikely circumstances, death.
  • 4. I understand that the injuries caused in paragraphs 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 could be inflicted accidentally, but also in extremely unlikely circumstances, through inadvertence or negligence, or malfunctioning equipment.

    • 9.0: Monthly Fees Breakdown
    Instead of asking for separate payments for training, belts, uniforms etc like most martial arts clubs do, we keep things simple by averaging things out so we can keep your monthly costs the same. The monthly fee over the holidays is used to pay for the replacement uniform provided by instructors.
  • 1. Should you choose, you are more than welcome to purchase your own martial arts belts, instead of receiving the ones that are in your monthly fees. Should you wish to do so, feel free to let us know and we will not charge you for these in your monthly fees.
  • 2. You are also more than welcome to purchase your own martial arts uniform, or not avail yourself of the uniform which is in your monthly fees, in which circumstance you would need to purchase outgrown or lost uniforms yourself, or as separate transactions to us. Should you wish to do so, feel free to let us know.
  • 3. Where customers pay instructors directly for their classes by way of monthly membership fee which is usually the case, if this membership fee includes a replacement uniform, then the replacement uniform is provided by the instructor.
