How many classes should I attend?

Regular attendace is two classes per week. You can attend any classes at or below your current belt rank level. Although two classes are required, students are encouraged to come as often as they'd like to earn extra credit classes. These can be useful if the student is sick and misses a class later on in the module.

What if I miss a class?

If a student misses classes for a week, or only attends one class during a week, the student can attend extra credit classes any other week to make up the missed class.

We're going to be gone for two weeks...

In cases where absenses are less than a month, students can usually get in enough extra credit classes to stay on track for their next promotion. If the absense is going to be longer than four weeks, let your instructor know ahead of time and consider scheduling private lessons to get caught up. If no extra credit classes or private lessons can make up for the absense, the student may be held at their current belt level untill they are caught up, and the next promotion comes around.
