FAQs

After School Programs

Is there still space available?

Possibly! Our programs usually fill up fast though, so check your school to see. If it says "Out of Stock", you'll have to wait until next session to register!

Where does my child's program meet?

Most of our programs meet by your school's kindergarten playground. Check your flyer or see your school's information here.

What time does the program start?

All programs start right after school lets out, even on minimum days. Check your flier or click here for your specific school.

It's raining - are you still holding the class?

The world must be coming to an end - it's raining in San Diego! We'll be teaching until the world ends, so yes, class is still happening. We'll email you if we ever have to cancel due to weather.

It's super hot - are you still holding the class?

Yes we will - but we recommend you make sure your child has adequate water and sunscreen! We'll email you if we ever have to cancel due to weather.

I can't register for the next session! What's going on?

One of three things:

  1. We're all sold out (does your page say "out of stock"?)
  2. Next session's registration isn't open yet (check the dates listed).
  3. The internet is broken (the world is ending - time to panic).

What makes 5 Elements different from other martial arts studios?

We are unique in two ways. First, we don't just concentrate on the martial arts development. Our instructors focus on developing the student as a whole person - body, mind, and spirit. It is our goal that each student not only learns how to defend themselves but also learns important life lessons.

Second, we strive to be clear and upfront about our policies & pricing. Most martial arts studios have tricky cancellation policies or confusing pricing. Our pricing is very simple - just three plans to choose from, and you'll get reminders each month about what's going on at the studio.

This sounds great! How do I get started?

Great to hear! We're excited you want to become part of the family. You can sign up at our studio, or if you try out a free class, you can register on our tablets at the studio.
