Ongoing Membership Requirements
Positive conduct and effort must be displayed while training at The Peaceful Dragon, while at home, while at school and in public.
A Leadership or Black Sash Club member represents the ideals of The Peaceful Dragon and must live up to those ideals. Mistakes can be made, but they
must be corrected with humility and the desire to improve. Students who repeatedly fail to display the ideals of a Black Sash will have their membership rescinded.
As a member of the Leadership Club, every effort should be made to actively contribute to our school since one's strength and success in martial
arts is dependent on the strength and success of one's school. Members should volunteer on clean-up and maintenance days or with other school activities; make every
effort to attend Peaceful Dragon functions that are designated for children; consider joining the Lion Dance and Demo Team to display and help others learn about our
martial arts program; and regularly promote our school to friends and contacts and encourage them to come visit.
