2. Always communicate your personal boundaries.

3. Everyone should feel safe and comfortable.

4. Allow others to finish speaking.

5. Good behavior is rewarded.

6. Egos and antisocial behavior are to be left at the door. And ideally shouldn’t even enter in the first place.

7. Nothing is mandatory; if you are unable or prefer not to participate in a specific exercise or round, that is perfectly fine.

8. You don't have to ask for permission to use the restroom, but please let me know so I am aware of your whereabouts.

9. You may have a drink whenever you like—no need to ask—but please coordinate with your training partner to maintain the flow of the session.

10. Please inform me of any conflicts between individuals so they can be resolved; let’s find a reasonable compromise.

11. Help each other whenever necessary. Offer tips, explanations, patience, or assistance with gear.

12. Be a good training and sparring partner.

13. Remain quiet while instructions are being given.

14. Raise your hand if you have a question.

15. Do not enter the training area until 5 minutes before the start of the class.
