Welcome to your first week at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu amsterdam!
we have guidelines
to ensure everyone's safety and to maintain a positive and GROWTH-MINDED environment
training guidelines
Respect for your training environment and training partners is very important in Jiu Jitsu and forms the basis of a healthy practice. We therefore expect all participants to comply with these rules of conduct:
-
Safety is the top priority, fun is the second priority, and growth is the third.
-
Jiu-jitsu is a multi-year or lifelong journey - take your time to learn and grow with mindful repetition
-
Respect your training partner and instructors. We are all growing together. Aim to not cause injury regardless of the intensity of the situation. Be cool.
-
Never yank or pull submissions too hard that could cause injury to you or your training partner.
-
Keep your toenails and fingernails short and clean. Cuts suck.
-
Wear clean training clothes (T-shirt + shorts or rashguard, shorts & spats).
-
Tight-fitting clothing is recommended to prevent mat burn, and protect your training partner from toes/fingers getting caught in loose-fitting clothing.
-
Remove all jewelry (including piercings) for safety ... unless you didn't like that necklace.
-
Make sure you smell fresh before training. Not like flowers, just not like a day-old gym towel.
-
Wear flip-flops or shoes when walking off the martial arts mat. Do not walk back on the mat after walking off the mat without flip-flops/shoes. Our faces touch the mat ... bare feet in bathroom, then on our faces ... not good.
-
Injuries and (chronic) illnesses such as epilepsy and asthma must be shared in advance to the instructor so that this can be taken into account during the training.
-
Untreated and healing wounds should be covered and not exposed on the mat. Take all cuts seriously so they heal quickly.
-
Showering immediately after class at the gym is recommended for hygiene. We recommend Defense Soap as it kills various nasties that can infect cuts and scratches.
-
Listen carefully to the instructors and follow their instructions. We're here to help you grow.
-
Leave the training room and changing rooms neat ... it's our "home".
