Behavior and Discipline Management Policy

For Martial Arts Classes, After-School Programs & Seasonal Camps
At American Family Center, we’re committed to helping students grow through discipline, respect, and personal development. Whether they’re on the mat, at our after-school program, or enjoying a seasonal camp, our goal is to create a safe, structured, and supportive environment.

What We Expect from Students

Across all programs, we expect students to:
• Show respect for instructors, staff, peers, and school property
• Follow directions promptly
• Maintain self-control during all activities
• Use positive language and behavior
• Represent the core values of martial arts—respect, responsibility, perseverance, and integrity

How We Manage Behavior

We use a positive, structured approach that helps students learn from their choices without shame or punishment.

  1. Verbal Reminder
    A clear, respectful reminder of expected behavior and why it matters.

  2. Redirective Physical Activity (Martial Arts Classes)
    Students may complete extra drills or stances to refocus their energy and reinforce discipline. These activities are used as a traditional martial arts tool—not as punishment.

  3. Behavior Reset Break
    If needed, students may take a short break from the group to reset. Instructors will check in before they rejoin.

  4. Loss of Privileges (After-School & Camps)
    In non-class settings, students may temporarily lose certain activities (e.g., games or free time) to help reinforce responsibility.

  5. Incident Reports
    If a student shows:
    • Aggression or unsafe behavior
    • Repeated defiance or disruption
    • Serious disrespect toward others
    …we document the situation in an incident report and follow up with families directly.

  6. Parent Collaboration
    If issues persist, we’ll work with parents/guardians to create a Behavior Support Plan focused on clear expectations and student growth.

What We Don’t Do

• No physical punishment
• No public shaming
• No embarrassment or intimidation
We always treat students with dignity and respect—even when helping them learn from mistakes.


Program-Specific Notes

Martial Arts Classes
Physical redirection is used constructively. Students are taught to reset through movement and mental focus.

After-School Program
Behavior is managed through structured transitions, clear expectations, and consistent staff responses.

Seasonal Camps
In high-energy environments, we emphasize teamwork, kindness, and proactive supervision to prevent issues before they arise.


Our Commitment

We’re here to help every student become:
• More focused
• More confident
• More respectful

Through martial arts and structured programming, we support students in becoming their best selves—on and off the mat.
