U.S. Taekwondo follows the local public school system in the event of severe weather.
If schools are closed due to a hurricane, we are closed. If early pickup is required, we follow the same policy.
Please monitor local TV and radio for updates.
Regular severe weather drills are conducted to ensure safety.
Discipline is handled in a way appropriate to each child’s age and needs.
Methods include redirection, positive reinforcement, teaching by example, and logical consequences.
In some cases, a private discussion or short time-out may be used. As part of martial arts training, push-ups may also be used.
Communication between parents and instructors is key. If needed, alternative arrangements may be required.
