The Mat area is about 1800 sqft so we will need to keep track of capacity for bystanders and participants, only parents and guardians may attend and/or video record the open mat during the kids class 11-12. The kids class will have an 8 year and above age requirement and 15 student capacity, the adult class will have a 18+ age restriction unless parent or guardian is present and the capacity will be 12 students for the adult class.
We will have waivers that must be signed by all parents and adult participants, the rules of BK Kickboxing must be upheld while attending this or any future open mat event. Including but not limited to, no sparring for beginner students or non members, no advertising other gyms, no badmouthing other gyms or coaches, no foul language, no unsportsmanlike behavior of any kind, gym equipment must not be misused or damaged.
The gym has bathrooms but unfortunately does not have locker rooms so please dress accordingly and avoid changing at the gym if you can because it makes the bathroom space cramped and uncomfortable for your peers.

For those of you who are interested in the philosophy of our gym please read the following:
Our gym is meant to encourage people to express themselves through Martial Arts and develop a healthy lifestyle with a welcoming community. The gym is not a environment meant to W**d out people that are not fit to compete in Martial Arts, nor is it meant to water down self defense into a purely abstract cardio work out. We want to provide genuine skill development and foster a culture of perseverance and discipline without any extra marketing tactics, like ranking system incentives (belts). We are a boxing and kickboxing facility that provides an experience that builds people to the point where they can participate in either sport competently (within the scope of their bodily limitations). Those who decide they want to compete in boxing or kickboxing are welcome to do so, but that is a personal decision for the students, BK Kickboxing Coaches and Staff are not invested in converting any student into athletes to represent the gym, no student will ever feel pressure to do so under any circumstances.
Thank you for reading and if you have any additional questions Coach Ben can be reached via direct message or via phone at 3018303777.
Looking forward to meeting you!
