Stoic Martial Arts Code of Conduct
Etiquette and Good Virtue

The most important person at the Academy is your training partner, treat them as such!
Tap early, tap often, live to fight another day.
Train hard but train smart.
Get a good sweat.
No cranking on submissions, no heel hooks, slams, cheap shots, etc. Let’s keep the injuries to a minimum. Accidents happen but I want people to train often — this isn’t Fight Club.
No full contact sparring with striking just timing drills per our insurer.
To follow, no one sues anyone per the Dog Brothers. Martial arts is an honorable lifestyle treat your teammates well.
Absolutely no shoes on the mat, period. #SacredGround
NO bare feet in the restroom; wear sandals and don’t bring germs back to the mat.
Play nice with others and be respectful and have fun!
Check-in every time you train so we can track your development.
If you are late, join without interrupting and when the instructor is teaching please keep quiet.
All students, guests and visitors must wear a clean uniform for formal class.
Long Sleeve Rashguards are required for grappling, for skin protection. Black spats are recommended.
