16.5 Student and Instructor boundaries and class discipline

Master's Message children's class discussion topic of the week.

At Cobra, we want everyone to feel safe, happy, and able to learn. 

To make that happen, we have some important rules about respect and boundaries

between Instructors and Students.

1. When an instructor is speaking, we listen.

We don’t interrupt, talk back, joke around or act silly.

2. We can smile and have fun, but instructors are not your friends during class — they

are your teachers.

We show them respect at all times.

3. Keep your hands and behaviour under control.

No grabbing, leaning on, or touching instructors or other students unless they have

asked you to for training.

4. Joking, mucking around or playing with instructors is not allowed.

At Cobra, we train hard, have fun, and show respect.

That’s what makes a strong martial artist.
