Membership Terms

Monthly membership is for classes only. Belt testing, tournaments, special events, and required training equipment are not included. These additional expenses (both mandatory and optional) are outlined in our student handbook. Testing is not mandatory but is a normal part of Taekwondo training.

I understand that LVLUP Martial Arts – East Madison is an individually owned and operated licensee of ATA Martial Arts, and any dues paid to LVLUP Martial Arts are only valid for the East Madison location.

All monthly dues must be current in order to advance to the next rank or participate in school events. We offer an extended time guarantee for all of our programs. If you need to leave for an extended period of time (1 month or longer), we will continue to charge your membership per our agreement but will extend your time based on the length of your absence.

All leave requests require a 30-day written notice via email to eastmadison@lvlupma.com.

There are no regularly scheduled classes on holidays or on days when the Madison Metropolitan School District is closed. LVLUP supports ATA National, District, and Worlds tournaments and may close during those times.

At Camo Belt level (4th belt), students are required to begin sparring training. Sparring gear is required and must be purchased at LVLUP Martial Arts to comply with ATA safety and insurance standards.

LVLUP Martial Arts has a NO REFUND policy for any monies paid for products or services rendered. I acknowledge that I received a new member folder and understand that my child(ren) may appear on our social media outlets on occasion.

LVLUP Martial Arts urges all members to obtain a physical examination from their physician before participating in any exercise or martial arts class. In recognition of the possible dangers connected with any physical activity, member(s) knowingly and voluntarily waive any right or cause of action of any kind whatsoever arising as a result of such activity from which liability may accrue to LVLUP Martial Arts, its owners, employees, agents, instructors, or volunteers.
