HOUSE RULES

  • Reservations open in Zen Planner 24 hours before the class start time and close 2 hours before class starts. Classes with fewer than 2 reservations will be canceled. Upon arrival, please sign in on the wall-mounted iPad.

  • PLEASE NOTE we run a tight ship: classes begin and end promptly at their assigned times. Students are expected to be ready to get on the mats when class begins. If you will be late, please let your instructor know in advance, if possible. After a late arrival, wait off of the mat until the instructor invites you to join class.

  • Do not train if you feel ill. You and your uniform must be clean prior to training. Finger and toe nails must be trimmed. Shower thoroughly after training to prevent staph and dermatological conditions, which are detrimental to your and your training partners’ health, and the Academy’s wellbeing.

  • Remove all jewelry and watches/fitness bands. Do not apply cologne, perfume, or any other strong scents right before training. All belongings should be left in the locker room.

  • Shoes are be worn at all times that you are not on the mats, and must taken off before you step onto the mats.

  • Wear the appropriate uniform for the class you are attending. For Jiu Jitsu, make sure your gi top and pants are the same color. Keep your gi on and your belt tied at all times. Gi must be clean prior to training, and belt must show your rank.

  • Be courteous. Pay attention to the instructor at all times. Do not speak while techniques are being shown; questions will be answered after. Yield to higher ranks. Only drill techniques being taught. No chewing gum on the mats. Parents: Absolutely no coaching your children or other students during class.

  • Leave the mats immediately after class ends. Clean up your trash (tape included). Remember your belongings.

  • Be good to yourself and your training partners. GET HEAVY!
