I understand and acknowledge that COVID-19 is a global pandemic.

MISSION
A mission statement defines the organization's business, its objectives, and how it will reach these objectives.
VISION
A vision statement details where the organization aspires to go
PRINCIPLES
Principles are self-evident and — as part of most traditions and philosophies over the ages — they’ve been woven into the fabric of societies throughout human history. They often concern human behavior and govern interactions between people.
We foster a culture of respect and safe training space.
We are positive role models of behavior at all times.
We welcome and support everyone who strives to learn.
We exercise proper sportsmanship. This includes refraining from the use of derogatory terms in relation to race, religion, sexual orientation and/or gender expression.
We refrain from any activity that could be considered as bullying, harassment, hazing, and/or intimidation.
VALUES
Values are beliefs and opinions that people hold regarding specific issues or ideas, and are ultimately internal, subjective, and malleable. They may change as demands or needs change. If a given belief or opinion is something that might be altered if the conditions are right, then it’s a value.
RESPECT- Treat others how you would like yourself to be treated. Speak and behave respectfully towards others.
TRUST- Trust goes both ways. It takes a lot of trust to allow someone to practice self defense techniques on you, but your partner is also trusting you to not do harm to them. Please practice safely together.
CARE FOR OTHERS - Demonstrate concern for others. Never intentionally injure another student or engage in reckless behavior that might cause injury to self or others. Give help when needed.
SELF-CONTROL - Be aware of your actions and precision in training. Understand what is an appropriate level of force to apply.
INTEGRITY - Do the right thing. Be honest and truthful.
TEAMWORK/COMMUNITY- Do what is best for the community as a whole.

Those statements will be reviewed by the senior instructors.
Witnesses, if any, will be interviewed and statements collected from them as well.
Advisements will be made to both parties by the senior instructors.
If a senior instructor is involved in the conflict or cannot be impartial for whatever reason that senior instructor will not be part of the conflict resolution process.
If no resolution has been made, a further investigation may happen, if possible. And will continue until the matter has been resolved.
During this process both parties may be asked to discontinue training until a resolution has been made.
Files will be kept for future reference.
If any member/instructor has been deemed to be a safety concern to themself or to others, or has committed numerous offensive acts, they will be removed as a member and will no longer be part of Legacy Filipino Martial Arts. Severity of acts will be taken into consideration. If the act is majorly unsafe/offensive/uncalled for, that person will be removed immediately.
This document may evolve as needed as the years pass to be revised by the current roster of Guros who choose to help keep order in the community.
