Student Policy

Welcome to Iron Trinity Martial Arts! To ensure a safe, respectful, and productive environment for everyone, we have established the following student policies. All students are expected to adhere to these guidelines:


Good Hygiene Standards

  1. Personal Cleanliness: Students must maintain good personal hygiene. This includes regular bathing and keeping nails trimmed to prevent injury to yourself and others.
  2. Clean Uniforms: Gis and any other training attire must be clean and free from offensive odors. Uniforms should be washed after each class.
  3. Foot Hygiene: Feet should be clean before stepping onto the mats. Footwear is not allowed on the mats, so please ensure your feet are clean to avoid spreading infections.
  4. Nail Hygiene - Students are expected to keep fingernails and toenails clean, trimmed, and free of sharp edges to ensure safety during training.


Respectful Behavior

  1. Towards Instructors: Always show respect to your instructors. Listen attentively, follow instructions, and respond politely.
  2. Towards Fellow Students: Show respect to your training partners. This includes avoiding rough or overly aggressive behavior and ensuring that everyone has a safe and enjoyable training experience.
  3. Language: Offensive language, including excessive swearing or derogatory remarks, is prohibited. We foster a positive and supportive atmosphere for all.


Training Preparedness

  1. Proper Equipment: Students must come to class with the appropriate training gear. This includes a properly fitted gi, belt, and any other necessary protective equipment (e.g., mouthguard, rash guard, etc.).
  2. Ready to Train: Arrive on time and be mentally and physically prepared for training. This means being focused, well-rested, and having eaten sufficiently to sustain energy throughout the class.
  3. Health and Safety: Inform your instructor of any injuries or health issues that may affect your training. Do not train if you are sick or have an infectious condition.
