Training Safely

​At Golden Lion Martial Arts Academy, the safety and well-being of our students is one of our highest priorities. We are committed to providing a clean, respectful, and supportive training environment where students of all ages can learn with confidence.

Before Class

• Please arrive a few minutes early so you have time to get settled before class begins.

• If you're feeling under the weather but are still able to train, we encourage you to wear a mask to help protect your fellow students. If you're experiencing a fever or significant symptoms, please stay home and join us when you're feeling better.

• Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated throughout class.

• Wear comfortable training pants and your Golden Lion Martial Arts t-shirt (or comfortable athletic clothing for your introductory class). Current students should wear their full uniform with sash.

• Please have a separate pair of shoes for training on the mats. Clean, indoor, flat-bottomed shoes are recommended for comfort and stability.

During Class

Safety is an important part of martial arts training. Students are encouraged to arrive early enough to prepare their bodies, stretch, and practice before class begins.

​

Our instructors emphasize:

• Age-appropriate instruction and supervision.

• Safe technique progression based on each student's experience and ability.

• Proper form, control, and awareness during training.

• Respect for instructors, classmates, and training equipment.

• Controlled partner training when appropriate.

 

Students are encouraged to communicate with an instructor if they have an injury, discomfort, or need to modify an exercise. Our goal is to help every student train safely while building confidence, discipline, and skill.
