Welcome to Robson’s Family Karate

Robson’s Family Karate has existed since January 15th, 2008, and has grown to become recognised as a leader in the training of Martial Arts in Newry and Mourne and surrounding areas. 

The school is run by professional instructors, support staff, and a dedicated team of helpers and volunteers.

Robson’s Family Karate philosophy is one of sharing the highest standards of Martial Arts while developing within our students not only the physical attributes of skilled martial artists but also the mental disciplines and strengths of character required overall. 

Built with solid ethics, Robson’s Family Karate is deliberately ‘family’ oriented.  Alongside our top-quality adult programs and classes, there are also classes catering to younger students.

The parents of our younger students are included in this ethic, and we like to take as much care of the parents of younger students as we do of the adults and youngsters in training.

With a ‘service and value’ approach, Robson’s Family Karate strives to give everyone at the schools the highest levels of service alongside superior value. Our tuition fees are highly competitive while also reflecting the importance of the service delivered in the classes.

The family atmosphere at Robson’s Family Karate garners intense loyalty and dedication among students, parents, and staff alike.  We also see an excellent sharing ethic within the club. Many students and parents are keen to introduce friends and acquaintances to us, further enhancing the family framework. 

While Martial Arts can be a highly competitive sport, indeed Robson’s Family Karate nurtures its share of world-beating champions; there is no emphasis on competition.  Individuals can choose to compete or take their journey in martial arts and progress through the grading alongside many other individuals.  No one sits ‘on the bench’ at Robson’s Family Karate; the classes are highly inclusive, and the attention of the instructors is entirely on the needs of the students and parents.

Alongside classes and competitions, Robson’s Family Karate also holds regular additional workshops and seminars for subjects that cannot be covered in regular courses, training in more specialist skills and disciplines.  There are also activities, super seminars, workshops, and ‘fun nights’ at various times throughout the year. 

Instructor-approved clothing and equipment are supplied for sale through our physical and online stores, and regular promotions and discounts are run to ease the financial pressures on essential purchases.  Members are advised what is required at each stage of their training and development.

Students' and parents' commitment is essential to progress happily and successfully in Martial Arts. You will find, at Robson’s Family Karate, that your commitment to us is repaid with our commitment to continually strive to bring you the highest quality classes in the country, give you a club and instructors to be proud of and ensure your journey is happy, served with excellence, and is one that far exceeds your expectations.

OUR CULTURE

1. All those interacting within the school are expected to be positive, enthusiastic, and conscious of their role in helping to create an atmosphere of fun and excitement, engendering a ‘can do spirit in all.

2. All Instructors should be addressed as “Sir” or “Mam.”

3. Belts should be treated with respect and worn with a uniform. Always if a student loses a belt, it must be replaced immediately.    

4. Staff and instructors should be treated with respect by all, always, as they are there to help.

5. Students and parents of young students should be treated with respect by all, as they are there to learn and facilitate the learning of younger students.    

6. The instructors, parents, and students that come into our school do not gossip about other students, parents, or instructors at any time.          

7. The instructors, parents, and students that come into our school do not carry bad feelings towards others within the school.           

8. Any complaints shall be dealt with using the school’s complaints procedure, a copy of which is available from reception.                           

9. Equipment used and worn in the school will be subject to inspection and approval by the chief instructor before use; any damaged equipment must be replaced.  

10. Only Official Robson’s Family Karate Sparring equipment can be used while participating in sparring training (if you have been using sparring equipment purchased elsewhere, please ensure to replace this with Robson’s Family Karate sparring equipment only). Orders can be placed by following our online pro shop https://www.robsonsfamilykarate.com/shop/

11. All students must wear Robson’s Family Karate clothing, e.g. Karate/Kickboxing uniform, t-shirt, or hoodie, in every class (including the official belt) – failure to adhere to this will result in the student not being able to train.  We are proud of our club, and a clean, tidy, up-to-date uniform is an integral part of training.

12. Cleanliness is a prerequisite for training in our school. Personal hygiene standards are expected to be high, and uniforms are also expected to be clean at the beginning of all classes. Smelly uniforms and smelly bodies are an offence to others around us and show a lack of respect; fingers and toenails must be clipped and kept short.        

13. Instructors, students, and parents of students in our school are positive, enthusiastic, caring individuals that combine to make our school a centre for enjoyment and development in our community

MISSION STATEMENT

We are a team of dedicated, positive, and successful people who work within our points of culture to ensure that all who come into contact with us benefit from the experience and move closer to becoming the people they wish to be.  We are in the business of health and education.  We educate all who meet us to be healthy and aware of their potential.  Our service to our students is of the highest quality and delivered with enthusiasm and commitment.    

Our students will desire to take on the help that we can give them and return our commitment to them with the highest commitment to us.  They will be forward-thinking, energetic, and enthusiastic people who demand the best and, in return, give the best.      

Our uniqueness is our desire to give all our students their spirit and freedom through training and education, helping them to achieve a happy life balance and self-confidence they never knew they had.

SAFEGUARDING AND SAFETY (INCLUDING OF CHILDREN, YOUNG PEOPLE, AND VULNERABLE ADULTS) PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEOGRAPHY

We are continuously mindful of the welfare of our members and have policies and procedures in place to protect members, staff, and the public. The following are in place at Robson’s Family Karate:              

• Our staff are Advanced DBS checked as appropriate.

• We have a safeguarding policy and risk assessments, which are reviewed annually.

• Children under 13 must be dropped off and collected by a parent, guardian, or appropriate adult. We advise that children under the age of 7 are accompanied throughout their sessions.

• You must obtain permission from a staff member before taking photographs or videos. With consent, you may only show the intent to capture images of your child.  If other children are in the background of pictures or videos, these must not be shown on social media.  Our members have the right to privacy and may even require this for legal reasons.

• Please take phone calls and use mobile devices outside the training area. Phone calls and other noises (games, video viewing, etc.) cause a distraction to the instructors, devaluing the member experience and creating a potential danger.

• Please limit interaction with the instructors and members during training.  This is also unfair and disruptive to the instructors, members, and spectators.

• No one is permitted to enter the training area without being invited by a staff member.

• No one is permitted to enter any Staff-only areas, office, stock rooms, and reception desk areas except for staff members; you will be asked to leave the site and building if found in these areas.

• Please exit the training area and the premises as soon as possible after your session has ended. You may have noticed that the viewing and reception areas are pretty limited in space to maximise training space. Leaving promptly supports us in maintaining a safe environment.

If you decide to cancel, no remaining training time or cash balances are refundable as per your agreement to purchase a paid-in-full option; as a gesture of goodwill, we will hold you a space in the school for a maximum of 12 months after your cancellation notice should you wish to resume, this will be non-transferable or refundable.

At this point, your payments will resume to their original price, or you will submit your 30-day cancellation notice.

All unauthorised cancellations will have 30 days to make their final month's payment. Failure to do so will result in us handing over the matter to a third-party debt-collecting agency to retrieve the funds, which could also lead to further legal administrative fees.

Membership at Robson’s Family Karate is secured by paying a monthly direct debit. We do not operate a pay-per-class system. There are no contracts, so your membership arrangements can be amended at any time at your request by our administrator for reasons such as membership level changes, bank detail changes, or date of payment changes.

Fees and operating hours at Robson’s Family Karate are calculated over 48 weeks a year and broken down into 12 even monthly payments, typically closing for one week at Christmas and one week in the summer and all bank holidays at the discretion of the Centre Management.  

Members are welcome to make up any missed sessions within three months. This offer is not only for club closure dates but also extends to any missed sessions due to reasons such as closure for emergency renovations, severe weather conditions, bank holidays, or members missing sessions for illness or holidays on any of the other 48 weeks. There is no limit on how many times a year members can take advantage of this offer.

Members may attend various timetabled sessions by booking in advance if there is space in that group.  If sessions or class types become full at any time, we will ask members to commit to set sessions until spaces become available.  Regular attendance is necessary to be considered for grading selection.

Robson’s Family Karate is committed to offering quality service at reasonable and competitive prices.  However, should it become necessary to amend membership structures and costs, we will inform you in writing, giving you reasonable notice.  We will not change any payments without your prior permission.      

SUSPENSION/CANCELLATION OF TRAINING

Direct Debit payments cannot be frozen or suspended at any time unless for a medical reason with such evidence provided by your doctor; if you need a break in your training for anything any other than a holiday, then a retainer fee is available upon written request and approval from the school's management this is based upon a case by case basis and is only once per year, this cannot be staggered over several months and can only be used in one block of up to 3 months. 

To reserve your place in the school, you must pay half your monthly class fees for no longer than three months. After three months, your class fees will return to our current charge rate. At that moment, if our class fees have increased, you accept that the new price will supersede any previous price plans with no exceptions.

Any members who cancel their direct debit without first notifying our administrator will be required to pay our full enrolment fee of £99 administration and re-joining fee to continue their training.  By cancelling payments, members are effectively cancelling their membership, and all prices at the time recommencing will be in effect.

We are a busy club, and places are in high demand.  You are securing a place at the club by continuing payment throughout any short-term absences.  Members are more than welcome to make up any missed sessions by attending additional sessions when available to take full advantage of their subscription.

Robson’s Family Karate reserve the right to cancel memberships at any time. Members who pay but do not attend for three months and have not been in contact with the club will automatically have their membership suspended and payments cancelled.  No refunds will be authorised as payments have secured a place at the club. Again, there will be a £99 administration and re-joining fee should they wish to restart training, assuming there is a place available in their chosen class.

For insurance purposes, we need to be fully aware of the number of students we have training in any class and venue, so you should advise the club if you decide to suspend or cancel your workout.  If you wish to cancel your membership, you should do so in writing using the form Overleaf or via email.  Note that no refunds can be made for any missed classes before the date of cancellation.

If you have any concerns about or would like to make any amendments to membership, training, or payments, then please speak to a member of our team before making any alterations with your bank, as this can cause issues with future costs and may result in the accidental cancellation of membership.

NOTICE OF CANCELLATION OR SUSPENSION OF MEMBERSHIP

Please let me know whether you want to suspend or cancel your training. In that case, we require ONE SECTION of this document to be signed and dated, or an email to this effect should be sent to info@rfkarate.com – you should retain evidence of suspension or cancellation requests in the event of any future queries regarding payments or membership.
