Guidelines for Showing Respect to Yourself and Training Partners
Bow as you enter and leave the school building, and when entering and leaving the Dojo (training area). Bowing is part of our training and is recognized as a sign showing that you respect yourself and others. Another way we show respect and discipline is by saying “Yes, Sir or Yes, Ma’am” and “No, Sir or No, Ma’am”.
If you arrive to class after it has begun, enter the Dojo and wait until the instructor places you in class. Do not leave the class without the instructor’s permission.
Whenever you approach your instructor to address him or her, first bow and then speak politely.
The following are prohibited in the Dojo: shoes, smoking, eating, drinking, chewing gum, intoxication, bad language, arguing, and horse-play.
Always wear a clean uniform to class and NO JEWELRY.
When sparring, full sparring gear must be worn at all times.
Higher belts should set a good example by showing respect and helping lower belt students.
Do not demonstrate or teach martial arts outside the Dojo without the expressed permission of your instructor.
Never degrade the martial arts or the reputation of the school.
You must have the permission of your instructor to participate in any turnament or other martial arts activity
Develop the Winning Habit
Set an ultimate goal, and then develop short-term goals that help you achieve it. Once you set your goals, you must take action in order to reach them.
Set a long-term goal to become a Black Belt, and a short-term goal to become a yellow belt. Attend to class and practice hard to be ready for your first test. Once you reach this first level of achievement, you will be on your way to success.
Setting and achieving goals is the best way to build self-confidence and become a winner.
HISTORY OF JIU-JITSU
Jiu-Jitsu is known as one of the oldest Martial Arts, preceding Judo and Karate. It’s translation means: “Smooth Art” and was created in Japan, more than 600 years ago at the Buddhist Temples as a Self Defense way and also for the Physical Conditioning of the Monks. It went to Brazil in the early 20 th century, brought by Count Koma.
Master MITSUYO MAEDA, known like Count Koma, left Japan approximately from the years of 1912 to 1922 when he had traveled the world giving demonstrations of JiuJitsu and Judo for the Westerners. When Master Maeda arrived in Brazil, he gave several exhibitions in Rio de Janeiro and in Sao Paulo, without awakening larger interest in the sport. He traveled to the north of the country and settled in Pará, staying as instructor of Jiu-Jitsu and Judo. He taught the art to many Brazilian families. Those families spread the teaching of Jiu-Jitsu to the whole country . His best student was Carlos Gracie, who taught all his knowledge to his son Carlson Gracie.
Our classes intent is simply to teach Jiu-Jitsu to everyone.
