I. Professional Integrity & Background Standards
- Mandatory Vetting: All members are required to undergo comprehensive, recurring annual criminal background checks.
- Zero-Tolerance Policy: No individual with a history of moral turpitude, violent crime, or any offense involving a minor shall be permitted to teach, volunteer, or become a member of our association.
- Authorized Lineage: Only schools chartered by the International Tum Pai Association™ are recognized as legitimate practitioners of GGM Jon Loren’s system. Unauthorized entities do not meet our rigorous vetting or curriculum standards.
II. Student Safety & Protection Protocols
- Transparent Training: All schools and individuals will maintain an "Open Door" policy. Parents are always welcome to observe classes. Private, unsupervised one-on-one training between an adult and a minor is strictly prohibited.
- Professional Boundaries: Instructors shall maintain professional boundaries at all times. Physical contact is limited to technical correction and safety-related demonstrations and must always be age-appropriate.
- Grooming Prevention: We train our members to recognize and prevent grooming behaviors. Any report of inappropriate conduct is taken with immediate seriousness and reported to the proper legal authorities.
III. The Martial Way (Moral Conduct)
* Honor and Lineage: We teach the history of Tum Pai with honesty. We do not tolerate the misrepresentation of rank, lineage, or affiliation.
* Conflict Resolution: Students are taught that martial arts is a tool for self-defense and personal growth, never for intimidation or bullying.
* Respect for All: We treat every student with dignity regardless of background, fostering an environment of mutual respect and discipline.
A Note to Parents and Guardians:
If a martial arts school claims to be "Tum Pai" but cannot produce a current Charter from the International Tum Pai Association™, they are not part of our vetted lineage.
Your child’s safety is non-negotiable!
We encourage you to ask any prospective school:
* Are your instructors background-checked?
* Can you provide a certificate of affiliation with the International Tum Pai Association™?
* Who is your direct lineage head?
