RULES OF CONDUCT (IN CLASS)

1. HAVE ALWAYS THE 3 BASIC TENETS IN YOUR MIND: EXCELLENCE, FRIENDSHIP AND RESPECT
2. Show respect to everybody. Be polite and kind.
3. Gi’s must be kept clean and sanitized. All gi’s must have the required Patches sewn on.
4. Should you arrive late, quickly line up at the edge of the mat and request permission to enter class. The decision to allow a late student onto the mat is entirely at the instructor discretion. The instructor may prefer the student to watch rather than risk injury due to missed warm ups.
5. Family members and friends are invited to watch class however, it is important that small children are contained and quiet during class. Also, only students are permitted on the mat. Please do not enter onto or walk across the mat while classes are going on if you are a spectator.
6. Family members and friends are encouraged to support students in class by applauding good efforts. However it’s not permitted coaching from anyone other than the teacher during the class.
7. Testing is mandatory at all levels. Students are required to attend testing in an approved gi with required Academy patches.
8. It’s expected that all students attend classes at least 2 times per week.
9. If you are on the mat don’t ever turn your back to who is training or teaching.
10. During class when the instructor is teaching a technique or when you watching someone’s training you must avoid be hanging on the wall, sitting with legs stretched and talking to someone else (if you want to share something to someone do it to everybody else, that way everybody is learning too).
11. There is a proper way of fixing the gi and tide the belt, in case you don’t know how, please ask the teacher.
12. Wear an appropriated Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Belt (If you don’t know how is the “approprieated Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Belt”, you should ask someone more graduated than you or the teacher about it).
13. If during the class you want to leave the mat for any reason (like: to drink water, to use the toilet, etc), ask permission for the teacher. And also ask permission to come back to the mat after return from it.
14. We learn from each other all the time on the mat. But specially the people that are training for a longer time have more to teach about it than the ones that are not training for that long. So respect them, you should be very thankful to them. Because you are defenitly learning a lot from them too.
