THE JYM MOVEMENT HOUSE RULES

Dojo

The JYM Movement is a dojo, which means:

A dojo is a space of connection where people practice together. The power of the dojo lies in its teachings about learning, and ultimately, about awakening, about being alive. In that context, here are our house rules that we adhere to:

Hygiene

• Arrive at training in a clean and hygienic manner, with clean, short, and trimmed nails.
• Wear clean and appropriate clothing.
• Do not wear shoes on the mat unless they are specifically designed for this purpose.

Safety

• Please enter the mat once the first training session is over, not before.
• Please practice only techniques suggested by the instructor.
• Safety precaution: Please leave the mat only with the instructor’s permission during a class.
• Please do not bring food or drinks onto the mat.
• The use of doping and stimulants is prohibited.
• The use of poorly maintained and/or unsafe materials and equipment is prohibited. This applies to both our own materials and resources and those of the member.
• Participation in classes is only permitted if the health of (assistant) trainers and members allows it.

Principle

• Listen carefully to the trainer when he/she/it speaks.
  When a trainer explains, remain attentive until the explanation is finished.
• Respect everyone and do not harm anyone during technique training.
• Train with everyone, even people you may not like.
• Be patient; do not fight.
• Cocky behavior, intimidation, aggressiveness, and/or unacceptable behavior are not permitted.
• Maintain awareness, control, and concentration in everything you do.
• Ensure you are on time for class.

Violation of the martial arts code results in immediate termination of membership, and the person involved is no longer welcome in the gym.
