At BMAA, we know that students are the lifeblood of any martial arts academy. As such, we pledge to provide a first class martial arts training environment. In return, we ask each student and parent for the following:
Treat each other with respect
Treat personal and BMAA property with respect
Bow when stepping on/off of the mat
Refrain from cursing and abusive language
Follow all BMAA rules
Listen attentively during class
Arrive 15 minutes before class and be prepared for class 5 minutes before it begins
If you choose to stay and watch class, we ask that parents and spectators please refrain from excessive cell phone use during class
No eating or drinking in the dojo (except for specific events)
Peacefully resolve problems without resorting to violence
Have clean, proper attire and gear for every class. Freshly washed gis, belts, rash guards and shorts are a necessity.
Have fingernails and toenails trimmed
If you are sick, please stay home.
Ego will severely hamper your progress as a martial artist. So come to class with an open mind and ready to train.
If you can follow the rules and guidelines we have laid out, it will ensure a great training experience for everyone and will only strengthen our community.
We look forward to meeting you.
