OUR COMMITMENT TO ACCESSIBILITY

WHAT WE DO

1. Physical Accessibility

​

We aim to make our facility as physically accessible as reasonably possible, including:

​

• Clear and unobstructed entryways and pathways

• Seating areas for parents and spectators

• Assistance for individuals with limited mobility when entering and exiting training areas

• Supportive environments for students using mobility aids (where safe and appropriate)

• Safety-focused training spaces with cushioned mats and controlled activities

​

Limitations:

Due to the physical nature of martial arts training, some areas of the facility or activities may not be fully accessible at all times. Participation may be limited where safety risks cannot be reasonably managed.

​

If you require physical assistance or specific accommodations, please notify our staff prior to participation so we can assess suitability and safety.

​

2. Training & Program Adaptations

​

Where appropriate and safe, instructors may modify training to support students with:

​

• Physical disabilities

• Developmental delays

• Learning differences

• Temporary injuries

• Sensory needs

• Anxiety or confidence challenges

​

Possible adaptations may include:

​

• Slower-paced instruction

• Modified techniques

• Reduced-contact participation

• Visual demonstrations or verbal guidance

• Rest breaks as needed

​

Limitations:

Not all techniques or drills can be modified without compromising safety or learning outcomes. In some cases, full participation may not be possible, or alternative programs may be recommended.

​

Participation decisions are made at the discretion of instructors and management, based on safety and capability.

​

3. Communication & Support

​

We support a range of learning styles by offering:

​

• Clear visual demonstrations

• Step-by-step verbal instruction

• Simplified explanations for younger students

• Patient, confidence-building coaching

• Open communication with parents where additional support may be required

​

If a student has specific communication needs, please inform us in advance so we can reasonably adapt where possible.

​

4. Sensory Considerations

​

We understand that some students may be sensitive to noise, lighting, or busy environments. Where possible:

​

• Breaks may be taken if a student feels overwhelmed

• Modified participation is welcomed

• Quieter areas may be used when available

​

Limitations:

Martial arts classes may involve noise, movement, group interaction, and physical activity. A completely quiet or low-stimulation environment cannot always be guaranteed.

​

Parents are encouraged to discuss sensory considerations with instructors prior to class.

​

5. Inclusive Environment

​

Xtreme B-Force Martial Arts is a respectful, family-focused dojo. We do not tolerate discrimination based on:

​

• Disability

• Race or ethnicity

• Religion

• Gender or gender identity

• Age

• Background

• Personal circumstances

​

All students are expected to treat others with respect and follow dojo rules at all times.

​

6. Assistance Animals

​

Registered and trained assistance animals are permitted in non-training areas of the facility.

​

For safety reasons, assistance animals are not permitted in active training zones unless prior approval has been granted by management.

​

7. Website Accessibility

​

We aim to keep our website accessible by:

​

• Using clear, easy-to-read fonts

• Providing simple navigation

• Ensuring mobile compatibility

• Offering alternative contact methods for support

​

If you experience any accessibility issues with our website, please contact us so we can address them.

​
