Catonsville Seido Karate Policies

Visitors

Visitors are always welcome. You may watch a class without obligation. If you are a visiting karate student, you are welcome to train with us. (Students from other Seido Karate programs must obtain permission from their instructor first. This is mostly a formality, but a vital one.) Please contact us to check that class will be held the day you plan to visit!

Waiver and Student Information form

All students are required to complete this information form and sign the waiver. The waiver states:

Participation is subject to the following terms and conditions: No refunds. Participant agrees to follow all safety rules and instructions. We reserve the right to refuse participation to anyone for any reason. Martial arts and self-defense training are contact athletic activities with inherent risk, including the risk of serious injury or death. As partial consideration for being allowed to participate and receive instruction, you agree to release all liability, and indemnify and hold harmless for all claims resulting from your participation: all persons giving instruction in this activity; all representatives and members of the World Seido Karate Organization; and any person, group, or organization providing related facilities or services. Participation is at your own risk. By participating, or allowing your minor child to participate, you indicate your agreement to these conditions.

Privacy

Information you give us will be used only to assist your training, and will not be sold or shared outside of the Seido Karate organization. When you join the World Seido Karate Organization, your membership and promotion information will be sent to Honbu (headquarters). We will not disclose your information to any third parties (except as may be required by law).

Non-discrimination

Seido Karate is an international family that values diversity. We do not discriminate based on gender, race, sexual orientation, or religion.

Potential students with special needs are encouraged to contact us - we believe that the benefits of karate training should be available to everyone.

Training for children

This is a small program that trains adults and children together. For this reason, we are generally unable to take children younger than eight years old. Exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis. (Note: the Pee-Wee program at the Howard County YMCA takes children as young as five.)

Refunds

We are unable to offer refunds on pre-paid class cards. (Except as required by Maryland law.)

Inclement weather

We follow Baltimore County Schools: if they close or let out early due to snow or other bad weather, we cancel class. School closing information is available on the BCPS website.
