4 golden rules 

​

 

• We listen and we don’t talk when the coach is talking 

• We keep our hands and our feet to ourselves, unless the coach tells us otherwise 

• We are respectful, we look after our teammates and we never use our BJJ to hurt others

• When the coach calls ‘parou’, we stop what we are doing and line up in silence 

 

Rules of the mat

​

• No shoes on the mats, no bare feet off the mats 

• When our partner taps, or says ‘tap’, we stop what we are doing immediately 

• We come to each class prepared with an open mind and the right equipment (water bottle, gumshield, correct, clean training gear)

• We maintain good hygiene and keep our fingernails and toenails trimmed

• Our bottles of water are kept off the mat 

• We never brag about ‘who we tapped’

• If we need to leave the mats for any reason, we tell the coach

• If we get hurt or we believe our training partner is hurt, we tell the coach 

• If we are struggling or uncomfortable with anything, we tell the coach

• We bow to our coaches at the end of class and shake everyone’s hands/give highfives
