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.
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.
Your partner’s physical safety is your number one priority. ATHLETES TRAINING IN AN UNSAFE MANNER WILL BE WARNED AT FIRST AND THEN REMOVED. Banned techniques include: jumping guard, scissors takedowns, takedowns or mat returns where your partner may land on their head or neck, and quickly applied leg lock submissions.

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.
What happens in training stays in training. Don’t tap and tell.
