Academy 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 where your partner may land on their head or neck. Mat returns must be performed skillfully and safely, especially regarding knees. ATHLETES TRAINING IN AN UNSAFE MANNER WILL BE WARNED AT FIRST AND THEN REMOVED.
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. Please wear shoes/sandals in rest rooms.
Waivers must be signed prior to training. There is a QR code near the front entrance as well as on our website.

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 matside so athletes rolling 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.
What happens in training stays in training, that’s why it’s training. Don’t tap and tell.
Nothing is “free.” If you are having trouble paying your membership fee, please talk to us privately. We have to keep the doors open, but we also try to be flexible and understanding.
