Dojo Etiquette

Be respectful of all people, and be safe in drilling and sparring.

Politeness and Manners Always
No cursing, foul language or bad attitude.

Hygiene

Be clean and showered, and have filed and trimmed fingernails.
Always sanitize your feet when entering the matted areas.

No Hats, hoodies or headwear indoors.
No bare chests.

Respect the Mat

Turn off or silence your phone.

Respect the Instructor
Say ‘Osu’ to affirm understanding.
Greet the instructor when entering and leaving the mat.
Be respectfully formal when speaking.

Sportsmanship
Always show sportsmanship, say ‘Good Training’ prior to a match.
Don’t act out or slap the mat when you are tapped out.  Take the loss like a true sportsman and shake hands.

No Ego
Leave your ego at the door.
Spar to learn, not to win. Tap out to ensure safety.

No ‘gram Culture

Your time on the mats should be spent making progress and growing as a fighter, rather than taking pictures of yourself training or punching bags.

If you do take a picture or film a video for special occasions, we ask that you get a permission from people before posting it online. Let’s keep our training environment respectful and safe.

Wear proper training gear

The proper training gear for MMA includes a lycra compression shirt (rashguard) and a pair of MMA shorts or compression leggings. This is for both hygiene and safety issues. Please make sure that your outfit has no metal components (zippers, buttons, etc.) and has no pockets.

We also recommend kneepads, and for more experienced students shin guards and MMA gloves will be required.
