The following rules are required to provide a safe and positive learning environment for the students.

• No horseplay.
• Walk. Do not run or jump unless it is part of the technique being taught by the instructor.
• Always walk around the edge of the mat or workout area when coming out to practice with your partner. Do not walk through the workout area or through other teams that are working out.
• If you think you or your partner have been injured tell the instructor immediately!
• Do not chew gum, candy, your toenails, or your partner.
• When practicing, keep your mouth shut except to kiai. This will help avoid biting your tongue, lip, or cheek.
• Clothing and personal hygiene must be as clean as possible, with special attention to clean hands and feet.
• Clothing should be suitable for the class: loose fitting, sturdy, and appropriate for tumbling.
• Nothing other than a handkerchief may be kept in your pockets.
• All jewelry and belt buckles must be removed. Jewelry that cannot be removed (i.e. piercings) will need to be taped.
• Finger and toe nails should be short and clean. If you wish to wear long nails they must be taped to protect your practice partners.
• Men should wear an athletic cup at all times.
