Hygiene Guidelines

We take cleanliness seriously for everyone's health and safety. Please follow these rules:

  • Wear fresh, clean clothes free of odor

  • Shower before and after practice

  • Trim your nails

  • Brush your teeth or freshen your breath before practice

  • Wear deodorant

âš  If you have any skin lesions (e.g., ringworm, staph infection), STAY HOME. Violators will be sent home and may be excluded from returning. Please ask a coach if you aren’t sure.

Parking

  • In the garage beneath the building

  • In front of the gym

  • On nearby streets

Conduct 

We are all adults who love wrestling and want to train safely and respectfully.

  • Respect your partner and shake their hand before and after live wrestling 

  • Overly aggressive behavior will not be tolerated.

  • Communicate your skill level and experience to your partner.

  • Our focus is on fun, skill-building, and longevity in the sport. If you're here to prove something, this may not be the right place for you.

Additional Tips

  • Bring an extra T-shirt to change into after practice—you will sweat a lot!

  • Stay hydrated – Bring water (preferably with electrolytes).

  • Eat smart – Avoid wrestling on a full stomach. Eat several hours before practice, or have a small snack like a banana for energy.

  • Wear kneepads – If you’re unsure, the answer is yes!

  • Ease into it – If you're new, you don't have to do everything on day one. You can sit and watch if you’re not comfortable participating yet.

  • Have flip-flops/slides – Wear them when stepping off the mat during breaks.

  • Arrive 5-10 minutes early – There is a kids' class before ours, so don’t be surprised if you see them finishing up.

  • Communicate injuries – Let your partner know before drilling or live wrestling.
