Club Rules and Dojo Etiquette
-
Respect the club rules.
-
Your training partners are most important for you on the mat, therefore respect and protect them.
-
On arrival greet everyone.
-
When you step on the mat, have your gi on and your belt tied. While on the mat, keep both your gi and belt on.
-
Use the changing rooms for getting changed, not the mat side or directly outside of the dojo.
-
If you need to leave the class early, tell your instructor before the class starts.
-
Do not eat on the mat (this includes chewing a gum).
-
No footwear including wrestling socks is allowed on the mat. In case you need to cover your feet during training (ie due to a small cut or verucca), wear cotton socks which do not mark the mats.
-
Keep your gi clean, your nails short and long hair tied back.
-
Remove or cover all jewellery before you start training.
-
Pay the club fees on time. If the fees are not received, the club will contact you to make arrangements and you may incur a late fee charge.
-
If you are away from training for a longer period of time, tell your instructors.
