Uniform/Hygiene Guidelines

We pride ourselves on creating a comfortable, safe, fun and welcoming environment for all our members and visitors. Please follow these guidelines to ensure you and your teammates get the best possible experience out of training.

 Hygiene

• No footwear on the mats

• Keep your nails trimmed and filed, no one wants to get scratched up

• Cover all cuts with a waterproof band aid and sports tape, infections are spread through open wounds

• Learn what a staph infection looks like and be cautious, do not train with any infected wounds

• If you have a cold or any spreadable illness, Do Not Come To Class, it doesn’t matter if you feel fine enough to push through a session or really want to train, take 7 days off and let us know so we can adjust your next membership payment.

Uniform 

Gi Class:

• Wear a Gi to Gi class, unless prior arrangements have been made with the instructor on the day

• Wear a clean Gi, wash it after every training day

• Wash your belt at least once a week

• Refrain from Gis with big rips and holes in them as fingers and toes can get caught

• We recommend wearing a rash guard, T-shirt or high fitting sports top with a high neck underneath your Gi to help reduce skin to skin contact.

No Gi Class:

• Wear no Gi attire to no Gi classes, unless prior arrangements have been made with the instructor on the day

• Tops must have sleeves

• Our standard uniform is Rash guard/compression top with shorts , spats or gi pants.

• Gentlemen, if you want to wear spats, please wear shorts over them

 *We highly recommend wearing a mouth guard for sparring
