Martial Arts Training: Personal Hygiene Guidelines

While training at Mamute Martial Arts, you are expected to keep clean and maintain your personal hygiene. Training with bad personal hygiene or in poor health negatively affects all other students at the facility; not to mention associated personal risks. In order to create the best atmosphere at our academy, it is up to everybody to contribute to a healthy and clean environment. Below are a few guidelines which should be taken into consideration before showing up to class.

1. No shoes are to be worn on the mat
   
2. Students are expected to attend all classes in a clean Gi or rash guard/t-shirt and shorts
   
3. Trimming nails, tying back long hair and removing jewelry is expected of all students
   
4. Do not roll or train when sick/injured or otherwise compromised
   
5. Prior cuts and bruises should be cleaned before coming to class
   
   Keeping your gear clean, showering after class and cleaning cuts and bruises are some of the best way to prevent transferable diseases; such as staph infection and ringworm. These can be transmitted from skin to skin contact, which is why it is the responsibility of all students to maintain a high standard of persona hygiene.
