Dojo (Mat) Etiquette:
1. Students must demonstrate self-respect and respect for the art and the instructors by wearing a clean respectful looking Gi, with the membership badge affixed. All rips and tears must be repaired.
2. Gi must not be worn to and from the Gym (Dojo).
3. Long hair must be kept tied back; finger and toenails must be kept short.
4. Students are in close contact with each other, so personal hygiene is important; please use a deodorant, no smelly feet ect.
5. Excessive make-up must be avoided. Earrings, rings and neck-chains ect., are not to be worn during training, if rings cannot be removed, cover them with a plaster.
6. Spectacles may not be worn during training, though they may be used in order to see a technique being demonstrated. (Soft contacts are worn at the users own responsibility; instructors must be informed if contacts are used).
7. Behaviour in the Gym (Dojo) can be summed up in one word "Moderate". Students should not speak or converse unless necessary, and then only in a low voice.
8. When a technique is being demonstrated, students should stand, sit or kneel attentively and not slouch or prop themselves against walls.
9. The Instructor is always referred to by their title e.g. Sensei or Sempai when in the Gym (Dojo) area (Don't call them by their first names). All commands must be obeyed quickly.
10. The Instructor's (Sensei or Sempai) decision is always final.
11. It is customary to show respect in the Gym (Dojo). Before entering the Dojo perform Ritsu Rei standing bow. Outside shoes must be removed and placed facing towards the exit, before going on or leaving the training area (mat) students must have an Instructors permission and bow facing the mat.
12. Do not train on a full stomach or drink large quantities of fluids. If you feel unwell let the instructor know. If you feel faint move to the side and kneel down.
13. Minor injuries are not uncommon in Jiu-Jitsu (bruising, muscle aches, fatigue, ect.), a sharp pain can indicate serious structural damage, so stop training and inform the instructor immediately of any injuries.
14. Any injuries received prior to training must be reported to the instructor before you go on the mat.
15. Stay sharp and attentive, do not fool around, Jiu-Jitsu can be very dangerous!
16. Jiu-Jitsu techniques will only be used outside the Gym (Dojo) in self-defence, and then only minimum force must be used.
