Gym Rules:

1. Treat partners, guests, coaches, and staff how you want to be treated. Bullying or harassment of any kind will not be tolerated. 

2. Respect the facility, gym equipment, furniture, and clean up after yourself. Repeat offenders will have their memberships revoked. 

3. Absolutely no training while sick or with rashes or skin infections of any kind. 

4. Hair, skin, nails, and body must be clean prior to training – Wear deodorant!

​

Practice Room (mat) Etiquette:

1. No jumping guard, knee wrestling, or heel hooks in the gi. All levels ARE allowed and encouraged to SAFELY utilize heel hooks in no-gi. 

2. Take into consideration age, size, physical limitations, experience levels, and adjust your pace and pressure accordingly. Anyone can turn down a roll with anyone else for any reason. 

3. Absolutely no sitting out and resting for the sole purpose of being fresh against fatigued partners. If you are sitting out a round, please move to the edge of the mat or to the benches/chairs so people rolling have space. 

4. Parents, please refrain from coaching your children from the seating area. 

5. Belts: at the end of the day, rank is only a representation of your progress relative to your potential. There is no hierarchy on our mats due to belt colors. 

6. Gis, belts, clothes, and all other training equipment must be washed after every practice. You will be asked to sit out if you don’t have clean gear. 

7. You must wear a second layer under your gi pants/shorts, no exceptions. Rash Guard or shirt should be worn under your gi in all classes. 

8. No street shoes on the mat, ever.  You must wear shoes/sandals in restrooms, and anytime off the mats.

 

Parent Etiquette:

1. Please refrain from coaching your children while they are actively training. This ensures clarity in instruction from our dedicated instructors and avoids any potential confusion.

2. Instructors on the mat require the support and respect of parents to maintain discipline and structure during class.

3. The most crucial aspect of your child’s experience extends beyond the mat, and into the communication that occurs off the mat. All of our instructors are available for any necessary conversations or concerns that you may have. We value open communication to enhance your child’s experience and progress.
