Terms & Conditions

Welcome to Tallaght Martial Arts.

These terms and conditions set out the rules for training with, booking with or visiting Tallaght Martial Arts. By booking a trial, enrolling in a class or purchasing a membership you accept these in full. If you do not accept these terms, please do not enrol.

Throughout this page, "the club", "we", "us" and "our" refer to Tallaght Martial Arts. "You", "your" and "the member" refer to the person training with us. Where a member is under 18, a parent or guardian accepts these terms on their behalf and is treated as the account holder.

Membership is open from age 4 upwards. Each member is placed in the class appropriate to their age and experience, and may be moved between classes as they progress.

Enrolment is confirmed once:

• the registration form has been completed in full;
• any medical conditions or injuries have been disclosed;
• the first payment has been received.

Members under 18 must be registered by a parent or guardian, who remains the point of contact for all account matters.

Current fees are published on the Pricing page and are charged monthly in advance, unless a pay-as-you-go option has been agreed.

Membership fees cover class access only. The following are charged separately:

• uniforms and club kit;
• gloves, pads and protective equipment;
• grading and belt testing fees;
• competition entry fees and squad training.

We review prices from time to time and will give at least 30 days' notice before any change takes effect.

Memberships can be cancelled at any time by giving notice in writing before the next payment date. Fees already paid are not refunded for classes a member chooses not to attend.

We will consider freezing a membership where a member cannot train because of:

• injury or long term illness, on receipt of written confirmation;
• an extended period away from Dublin.

Trial classes are free of charge and carry no obligation to join.

Where booking is required, classes should be reserved in advance through the member portal.

• arrive at least ten minutes before the session starts;
• admission of late arrivals is at the instructor's discretion, for safety reasons;
• let us know in advance if a member will be absent for an extended period.

We may occasionally need to change, combine or cancel a session — for example during holidays, competitions or venue closures — and will give as much notice as we can.

Everyone training at the club is expected to:

• show respect to instructors, training partners and other members;
• follow instructions given by the coaching team at all times;
• arrive in a clean uniform with the correct equipment;
• keep personal hygiene and nails in good order before partner work;
• use techniques taught at the club only in class, in supervised competition, or in genuine self-defence.

Serious or repeated breaches of this code may result in suspension or termination of membership without refund. Bullying, discrimination and violence towards other members will not be tolerated in any form.

Martial arts training is physically demanding and carries an inherent risk of injury. By enrolling you confirm that you are, or your child is, in suitable health to take part.

Members must:

• disclose any medical condition, injury, allergy or medication that could affect safe training;
• update the club in writing if their circumstances change;
• tell the instructor immediately if they feel unwell or are hurt during a session;
• train within their own limits and stop when asked to.

Photographs and videos are sometimes taken at classes, gradings and competitions, and may be used to promote the club on our website and social media channels.

Consent is recorded at registration and can be withdrawn at any time by writing to us. We will not publish a member's full name alongside an image without separate permission, and we will not use images of children in paid advertising.

Tallaght Martial Arts operates a safeguarding policy covering everyone who works with children and young people at the club. Our instructors hold the required Garda vetting.

Parents and guardians remain responsible for supervising their children before and after class, and for ensuring they are collected promptly. Any safeguarding concern should be raised directly with the club's designated liaison person.

We collect only the personal information needed to run your membership safely:

• contact details for the member and, where relevant, a parent or guardian;
• emergency contact details;
• medical disclosures relevant to safe training;
• attendance, grading and payment records.

Your data is processed in line with GDPR, is never sold to third parties, and is kept only for as long as it is needed. You can request a copy of your data, or ask us to correct or erase it, by contacting the club.

The club holds public liability insurance for its activities. Members train at their own risk and are responsible for arranging their own personal accident cover if they wish to.

Tallaght Martial Arts does not accept responsibility for loss of or damage to personal belongings brought to any venue we train in.

We may update these terms from time to time. The current version will always be published on this page along with the date it was changed. Continuing to train with us after a change means you accept the updated terms.
