Respect the dojo, the staff, the instructors and each other.  Leave your ego at the door. 
 

 For parents and guests, no side line coaching and keep conversations low.
 

 Keep cell phones off the mats during class.
 

 Bow when you enter and exit the mats.  Classes begin and end with a formal bow to the professor(s) with students lining up in descending order by rank. 
 

 If you are late, wait by the side of the mat and wait for permission to join.  Let us know ahead of time if you're going to be late or absent. 
 

 If you need to leave the mat or leave class earlier, inform the instructor ahead of time.
 

 During class, when the instructor is demonstrating the technique, students should sit, stand or kneel attentively and not slouch or drop themselves.
 

 When practicing, talking should be kept to a minimum and related to the class subject. It is ok to ask questions as long as it pertains to the lesson being taught. 
 

 Your uniform, gi or nogi must be clean with no offensive odours.  Keep your nails trimmed and no jewelry.
 

 Avoid aggressive and confrontational behaviour towards anyone. 
 

 If at any time during training you are in danger of being injured through an applied technique or approaching another groups training space, firmly tap your partner two or more times and say "tap".  This will indicate to your partner to immediately stop applying the technique.
 

 Don't brag about taping people out.  It's disrespectful and unsportsmanlike. If you attack with malicious intent, you will be banned from the school.
 

 No jumping-guard, body slams, or Kami-Basami Takedowns (ONLY high ranked belts and under direct supervision of an instructor)
 

 If you see someone do something inappropriate on the mats or in change rooms. Please speak to one of the staff or instructors immediately.  There is zero tolerance for bullying or sexual impropriety.
 

 LADIES CHOICE RULE - It's ladies choice to pick whom they want to train technique and or roll with.
