Gym Rules
Forbidden Jitsu
Due to safety concerns, we do not permit techniques with uncontrolled falling body weight while sparring. Our list of prohibited techniques includes:
- jumping guard,
- flying submissions,
- slamming,
- flying leg scissors (kani basami),
- sitting on your partner's leg (tani otoshi/valley drop),
- mat returns with a trapped arm, and
- high footsweeps (leg kick).
Open Mat
Our open mat is open to non-members and is for experienced grapplers only. Attending open mat does not require a booking, only a participation waiver. Do not try to use our open mat as space to teach your own classes or private lessons—you will be asked to leave.
