CONTRACTS
We don't have them. Simply put, you are NOT bound to any contract with us - you are here because you want to be and that's how we want it to be. We are over 120 members strong and growing, we don't need a contract to keep you, the instructors, classes, and top notch facilities will do that. All we ask is that you complete a membership form and join our $10 annual liability insurance policy.
