  1. When the kids arrive early to their Jiu-Jitsu or Muay Thai class, they must either practice their techniques or sit on the side of the mat and observe quietly. This creates an atmosphere worthy of martial arts, with discipline and respect, and conducive to learning.

  2. Arrive on time for classes. If your child is late, he/she must wait on the side of the mat until the instructor gives them permission to join the class. They will be asked to do 10 pushups.

  3. Everyone must remove their shoes/boots at the entrance upon arrival. 

  4. Children should attend class with a positive attitude and show respect to instructors and other children. No aggressive behaviour will be tolerated under any circumstances. They must be respectful of their training partners and always welcome new students with kindness and patience.

  5. Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai are close-proximity sports, therefore, if your child has cold/flu symptoms, please do not come to the gym to spread the germs. He/she will be prohibited from participating in the class if showing signs of illness.

  6. For hygienic reasons and to avoid scratches, please ensure their toenails and fingernails are clean and neatly trimmed. If we notice that this isn't the case, they will be prohibited from participating to the class. The Gi must be clean at all times. The Gi (Kimono) must be kept clean at all times. In martial arts, the kimono is not only the uniform but an aspect of ethics and honor and we must take care of it. For hygienic reasons, we recommend washing it after each class. Only compression tops or compression pants can be worn under the Gi. For the Muay Thai class on Saturday morning, it's important that your child arrives wearing his/her Experience t-shirt and Muay Thai shorts.

  7. Children with longer hair must tie their hair with an elastic band.

  8. Parent spectators are asked to watch the class from outside the facility not to distract the children. We ask that you please refrain from smoking near the Experience entrance.

  9. You are asked not to "coach" your children or other students during classes. We have qualified instructors for this reason. For best results, trust the process and the teaching methodologies of our curriculum.

  10. No form of bullying will be tolerated at Experience and if you learn that your child is bullying at school, please let us know. Your child will have a very important discussion with Coach Danny and if the bullying continues, we will have the obligation to expel your child from our Program. We consider the children of Experience, little ambassadors. They therefore represent Experience, even outside the gym, so their actions are important and must be worthy of respect.​

  11. If your child forgets their Gi pants, gloves or any training equipment or uniform, they will have to participate without the forgotten item. 

  12. We reserve the right to photograph and film during classes for promotional purposes, including social media. Out of respect for the privacy of other members, no filming or photographing is permitted during the classes. If you would like a special photo of your child in Jiu-Jitsu or Muay Thai, do not hesitate to let us know, and we will be happy to do so for you.

  13. The designated parking for Experience clients is at the back of the building, the entrance is located to the left of the plaza. It's ok to take a parking spot in the front for a moment to drop off your children but we must then park at the back if you choose to stay for the remainder of the class.

  14. Last but not least, your child should always come to class with a smile! :)
