ACADEMY RULES
These rules are expected of everyone training:
​
-
Respect your partners
-
Respect yourself
-
Respect the ‘tap’
-
Be honest
-
Keep fingernails and toenails trimmed
-
Wash your Gi after every class
-
No shoes on the mats
-
Wear shoes in the hall and bathroom
-
No food or drink on the mat
-
No bragging--success in a technique or submission feels great, unless you were the one submitted
-
If you are sick, stay home
-
Drill the appropriate technique in class--you are here to learn and train new techniques, not to do what you want
-
Give way to higher ranks when rolling
​
​
The following rules will be strictly enforced in the kid’s classes:
​
-
Your uniform and belt are your own responsibility. If you forget them, a Gi or plain white belt will be provided for that class and the student will stand at the end of the line
-
When lining up, conversation should be kept to a minimum and relate to Jiu-Jitsu
-
Do not speak over others, raise your hand and wait for your turn
-
If you are late, wait for permission to step on the mats
-
Keep your hands to yourself when lining up--respect everyone’s personal space
-
Pay attention to the demonstration of techniques--anyone not watching the technique will not be allowed to practice it--especially submissions!
-
When allowed to choose your own training partner, make good decisions. If you cannot work well with someone, pick a different partner
-
Two warnings will be given to those unable to follow these rules, accompanied by wall sits or five push-ups (at the instructor’s discretion). On the third warning, one more set of wall-sits/push-ups will occur, and the student will not be allowed to participate in games at the end of class
-
Students unable to follow the academy rules for extended periods of time will be given a plain white belt and will stand at the end of the line. Their rank will be returned once they are able to follow the rules
-
Games at the end of class are not guaranteed. Pay attention during class and earn the game
