Training Requirements

Members will not be allowed to train until they meet the following requirements:

No-Gi:

✅ Rashguard or compression shirt (no cotton t-shirts).

✅ Fight shorts or athletic shorts with no pockets (to prevent injuries).

➡️ Spats/leggings are optional but strongly recommended for hygiene and mat safety.

Gi:

✅ Washed BJJ/Judo Gi only (unwashed Gi's harbour bacteria and odour).

❌ No street clothes or non-combat uniforms.

Hygiene:

🚫 No offensive odours:

Please wash your gi, gear, and body thoroughly before class.
Clean thoroughly after using the restroom – poor hygiene spreads infections.
Use deodorant (please try to avoid heavy cologne/perfume).

Due to the nature of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, all members are asked to maintain high levels of personal hygiene.

✂️ Nails:

Fingernails and toenails must be trimmed short and smooth – no exceptions.
Long or jagged nails can cause cuts, scratches, or infections to yourself and others.
