MAT CLEANLINESS

• Do not walk on the mat in your shoes, so that we can prevent the spread of germs.
• Do not walk outside with bare feet. If you have to go outside, wear sandals or shoes.
• Do not enter restrooms without shoes.

COACHING

• Have fun and help but do not over coach. Overcoaching can confuse and disrupt your partner’s progress.
• If help is required, ask one of the coaches.

DISTRACTIONS

• Respect your instructor and the class by not talking while the instructor is talking.
• We welcome a fun and encouraging environment, however, please avoid casual, non-relevant conversation when you’re in the middle of training, e.g. whilst hitting pads, sparring etc. If you are talking, you are not committing yourself 100% and respecting your partner’s training.

EQUIPMENT

• For your first session, all you need is hand wraps to protect your hands (we have these available).
• Once you’re a member you’ll require 10-12oz boxing gloves.
• As you progress you may need some other equipment, these include shin pads (kickboxing only), and 16oz boxing gloves and a mouthguard.

SPARRING

• Please be respectful to the sparring rules and pace that the instructor dictates. Learning pace control is a skill that needs to be practiced along with everything else we learn in class.
• If you feel that your partner is not abiding by the guidelines, please let the coach know.
• If you’re uncomfortable with any sparring, please let your coach know.

LOST PROPERTY
