Class Etiquette

No Egos or bad Attitudes will be permitted at this academy. Everyone is here to learn an effective self-defense. Tapping out is OK and is part of the learning process. Never brag about tapping someone. It happens to EVERYONE in training and is how you will improve. This is training, where we should always be trying different techniques and situations to better our skill.
Loosing your temper or any temper issues will not be tolerated. Control your temper at all times while training.
Introduce yourself to new students or students that you do not know and make them feel welcome.
When Instructor is teaching there should be NO talking. This is why we are here, to learn, so there should be no talking even if you have seen the technique before and Think you know it.
When Class starts, talking about anything other than BJJ or MMA should be kept to a minimum.
If you walk in while another class is in session, then come in and wait for your class to begin without disrupting the other class. If you need to take a cell phone call during class, or while waiting, then be respectful of the class going on and take it outside.
If an instructor comes over during a technique to correct you there should be no other instructing going on. If you are not an instructor, then at no time should you be trying to help someone through a technique at the same time as the instructor.
