ACADEMY OATH
I intend to be gentle, respectful and a good listener. I will always give my best to develop my self-discipline and to have the courage to do what is fair and truthful. I am aware that by learning the art of Jiu-Jitsu my mind and body are being empowered, but I promise not to be abusive nor offensive to others and always pursue friendship.
ACADEMY RULES
Be respectful to your coaches and training partners.
Look to set a great example as student and leader.
Safety is the priority. Use control when training.
Treat the academy with respect, clean up.
Bow to the mat before stepping on and off the mat.
Wear your shoes/sandals while in the bathroom.
NO foul language or loud outbursts.
NO eating in training room.
NO shoes in training room.
NO coaching your children or other students.
Wearing rash guards under the Gi is mandatory.
Be mindful of your hygiene.
Your uniform must be always clean for classes.
Keep fingernails and toenails neatly trimmed.
Remove all jewelry or other items such as hair pins.
All wounds must be properly covered.
Do not train if you are sick.
EXPECTATIONS OF STUDENTS AND PARENTS
If at anytime behavior from parents or students consistently disrupts the academy, training will be terminated at the discretion of the owner.
If you or your children are sick PLEASE be considerate of the coaches and students and stay home!
Parents, if you are sitting in the training room we ask you to NOT coach or talk to your children. We know it’s hard but it is very distracting for your student and other students to have parents talking to students or offering “coaching” from the sides.
Students need to bring their water bottles into the training room and leave them on the floor off the mat or on a bench. Students should NOT be running out to the lobby to get a drink during water breaks.
Parents, please encourage your children to learn to tie their own belt. They need to tie it themselves or wait for a coach to be available. They should NOT be running to a parent off the mat.
Parents please do not leave children unattended before and after classes. If children are not actively participating in a class they need to be with a parent or guardian.
The downstairs is NOT part of our studio space so please treat it with respect and do not leave students unattended to play before and after class.
It’s important students are coming in ready for class and on time. We know life happens but please make an effort to have children arrive on time, dressed and ready at the start time for the class.
We operate with a 3 strike rule. The first strike will be push ups, the second strike we will ask the student to sit out for 5 minutes, the third strike will result in being asked to sit out for the rest of class. If a student is consistently asked to sit out we will evaluate their place in the program.
Behavior issues include but are not limited to:
- Being disrespectful to coaches, other students or parents.
- Rough housing with other students.
- Speaking out of turn.
- Being off task and disrupting class.
- Reckless behavior that results in injuring others.
I/we have read and agree to the rules and expectations laid out by the academy with the understanding that violating the rules and expectations could result in termination of training with no refunds.
