Entrance:

If you’re not a Four Seasons member, you will need help at the front desk. Here’s what to expect: (This applies whether you’re training, testing, or just observing.)

 We have a number of free passes which we will set aside on a first-come, first-served basis. If you want a pass, send names to info@centralillinoiskarate.com by September 30. (We need names, not just “4 people”.)

 If we have leftover passes, we will give them out at the door. If we run out of passes, you’ll be charged $8 at the desk. (That’s your incentive to let us know you’re coming.)

 Everyone will need to sign a waiver. It’s standard stuff, but that means that anyone under 18 will need someone who can sign on their behalf.
