One of our club rules is that you let your instructors know if you can't make training. This was very controversial when first introduced with it being likened to being at school. For the brainless amongst you we are a school, a prestige Academy where we teach an ancient art that was used on the battlefield to despatch the enemy. If you want that privilege then you must follow the rules.
Your instructors listen to your request and feedback, there is nothing worse than adhering to a promise made to a student and then the student dosent turn up - often requesting the same class when he returns the next lesson. Likewise when when new starters turn up and were missing key members - it makes the club unprofessional. You are lucky that instructors are willing to repeat classes for the absent.
Irrespective of wether we are a Martial Arts Club or not, isn't it just manners? respect for your instructors? Maybe we should introduce a penalty? If you don't turn in for work without letting your employers know I suspect they pat you on the back an say "oh well" - not! They start the disciplinary procedure eventually resulting in dismissal - and some amongst us wonder why they are unemployable?
You can use any media available to contact your instructor - Text, Phone Call, Whatsapp, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Bebo, Pintrest, MySpace or email its not difficult in 2013 to communicate! Just make sure your telling the truth because these very social networks usually find the BS..
We've had family members dying followed by pictures of drunken antics at BBQ's, Stuck at work and running commentary of football matches, got no money and photos of new purchases or extravagant nights out!! I'm not saying dont do these things - we only live once! Just don't lie about it.
