Maintaining proper hygiene in jiu-jitsu classes is crucial to prioritize the safety and well-being of all students. Here are some guidelines to follow:

1. Stay Home When Sick: If you are feeling unwell or have a contagious illness such as a cold, flu, or a contagious skin disease like staph infection, boils, ringworm, lice, or chickenpox, please refrain from coming to the gym until you have fully recovered and are no longer contagious.
2. Please ensure that you maintain well-groomed toenails and hands at all times. Trim your nails regularly, keeping them short and clean to prevent any accidental scratching or injuries to your training partners.
3. Personal Cleanliness: It is important to maintain personal cleanliness for the benefit of everyone’s health and well-being.
4. Before stepping onto the mat, ensure that you have clean feet and are free from any dirt or contaminants.
5. Wear slippers or footwear when exiting the mat, and no shoes are allowed on the mat.
6. Pre-Training Shower: Taking a shower before each training session is highly encouraged as it promotes good personal hygiene and helps prevent the spread of bacteria and infections.
7. Clean Kimono: Please make sure your jiu-jitsu uniform (gi) is clean, free from any odors or animal hair, and in good condition.
8. Wash Your Gear: After every training session, it is crucial to wash your Jiu-Jitsu uniform (gi) and any other training gear to maintain cleanliness and prevent the accumulation of bacteria or unpleasant odors.
9. Tie Back Long Hair: For safety reasons, please ensure that long hair is securely tied back while training to avoid any interference or accidents.
10. Complete Personal Hygiene: Finally, maintaining overall personal hygiene, such as brushing your teeth, using deodorant, and practicing good hygiene habits, is essential for a clean and pleasant training experience.

By adhering to these hygiene guidelines, we are not only taking care of ourselves but also prioritizing the health and safety of our training partners.

Thank you for understanding the importance of these guidelines and for your commitment to maintaining a clean and safe training environment. Together, we can ensure that everyone enjoys a healthy and rewarding jiu-jitsu experience.
