Rules are boring! But they have a purpose. We want our students (and especially our instructors) to be able to grapple and be on the mats as long as they can. To that, below are the gym rules that we abide by.

​

1. Come with clean attire for each class. That also means if you trained in the morning, please don't use the same gi/spats for later classes. 

2. Cut your nails before you come to the gym. 

3. Don't try to murder your training partners. Most of us are hobbyists and have other responsibilities in life, we don't want to injure them. There will be comp classes for super hard rolls. Ask your partner first before turning into the hulk.

4. STRICTLY NO SLAMMING!!!

5. Ask your partners if they are ok for advanced leg attacks, especially the newer students.

6. Have proper hygiene. No one wants to roll with someone stinking of cigarettes, bad body odor or bad breath! 

7. Certain moves are banned in class unless specified by the instructor:

   1. Jumping guard​

   2. Scissor take down

   3. Z lock

   4. Twister

   5. Can openers

8. If you have a skin infection or some itchy irritation please tell the instructor and refrain from the mats.

9. Whilst we love having you come to training as much as you can, if you are sick please stay home and recover first before returning to the mats.

10. Just be cool, you don't want to be known as the douche!
