Gym Rules
- Treat partners, guests, coaches, and staff how you want to be treated. Bullying or harassment of any kind will not be tolerated. Respect the facility, equipment, furniture, and clean up after yourself.
- Your partner’s physical safety is your number one priority. No jumping guard, scissors takedowns, heel hooks in the gi, or takedowns or suplexes where your partner may land on their head or neck. Mat returns must be performed skillfully and safely. Athletes training in an unsafe manner will be warned and removed from the gym if necessary.
- Athletes must maintain impeccable hygiene. Absolutely no training while sick or with any rashes or skin infections. Hair, skin, nails, and body must be clean prior to training. Gis, belts, clothes, and all other training equipment must be washed after every practice. No street shoes on the mat. Wear shoes/sandals in rest rooms.
Mat Ettiquette
- We have an extremely diverse group of athletes. Use common sense and read the room. Take into consideration age, size, and skill level and adjust your intensity, pace, and pressure accordingly.
- When not rolling, please move to the side of the mat so the athletes training have space.
- Do not sit out rounds for the sole purpose of being fresh to seek out tired partners.
- Parents, please do not coach from the seating area.
