Here's a some helpful information for your first class at Fight TLV:

 

1. Introduce Yourself to the Coach
Tell them about past training experience, injuries, and any other information we should know.
 

2. Train to Learn, Not to Win

This is your first practice, work gently as you learn new skills. Protect your training partners, just as they will be protecting you. Don’t worry, you'll have plenty of time to “win” in the future.

.

3. Tell your Partners that you’re New

They will know to help you, and be careful if you have any past injuries.

 

4. Dress Appropriately

Shorts without pockets or zippers, tight-fitting shirt and no jewelry.

 

5. Be Mindful of Personal Hygiene

Shower before and after class, use deodorant, trim your nails, and cover any wounds. 

 

6. No Shoes on the Mat

But always wear shoes or sandals when going off the mat AND ESPECIALLY to the restroom.

 

7. Personal Items Go in the Cubbies

Please don’t leave bags and equipment on the floor or in the waiting area.

 

8. We Clean Up After Training

We work together to keep the gym clean for everyone. If you borrow equipment, please clean and return it to its place. If you don't know how or where, ask the coach.

 

9. The Coach’s Word is Law

No training without a coach present. Follow their instructions at all times, it’s for your safety.

 

10. Training is Meant to be Fun

Maintain good sportsmanship and a positive atmosphere. Leave your ego at the door.
