Visiting Students - Atlantic Jiu Jitsu Sligo

At Atlantic Jiu Jitsu, we welcome visitors joining us for a training session when they are in town.

Please call or email ahead to reserve your space in class.

MAT GUIDELINES

Greet teammates upon entering the mat.
Use respectful language and behaviour, especially around minors. Please refrain from curse/swear words at the academy.
Before stepping foot on the mat, make sure to have your entire Gi on as well as a properly tightened belt.
Do not remove Gi tops or rash guards in the mat and lobby area. Use the changing area provided.
Make sure you take your shoes off before entering the mat.
Put shoes on immediately upon exiting the mat. This holds true even if you’re just going to the bathroom.
Always compliment your sparring partner and shake/touch hands before and after the roll.
Only apply as much force as needed. Never intentionally harm anyone.
Be on time to class. If you happen to arrive late, wait at the entrance to the mat till the instructor says it’s okay for you to join.
Refrain from chatting while the instructor is talking.
No mobile phone on the mat during class.
No picture or video taping the classes
No food or gum on the mat.
Notify the instructor if you need to leave class early.
When the instructor assigns a task, continue doing that task until the instructor says otherwise. You can never drill a technique too many times

HYGIENE

Maintain good hygiene (i.e., shower and brush your teeth regularly).
Wash your gear (gi, rash guards, knee sleeves and/or shorts) after every training session. This not only keeps you smelling clean, but it also prevents the spread of infectious skin diseases.
Keep finger and toe nails short and clean to prevent injury to yourself and others.
Do not attend class if you are sick, or have a skin infection (Ringworm, Athletes foot, Staph etc…). You will be asked to leave class if you are found to have any of the aforementioned aliments.
Keep shoes off the mat, so we can prevent the spread of infectious skin diseases. Wear shoes /sandals when off the mat.
