Members
Code of Conduct
The safety of our members is our number one priority, and that is the responsibility of everyone.
Everyone who trains at Rogue acknowledges this code before they step on the mat — members, people training their free first week, and guests. It is short on purpose. It describes what being a good citizen of this club looks like.
What I acknowledge
I acknowledge that my performance and behaviour as a ‘good citizen’ within Rogue BJJ will influence the desire of other members to train with me.
I acknowledge that the safety and care of Rogue BJJ members are our number one priority, and all behaviour, physical or virtual, should reflect that priority.
How I will conduct myself
As a ‘good citizen’, I will ensure I conduct myself in the following manner:
- Ensure my personal hygiene is impeccable, as is the cleanliness of my training gear.
- I will leave the studio clean and tidy after each training session.
- I will respect personal boundaries and the physical and mental safety of Rogue BJJ Canberra members.
- I will support the health and wellbeing of my training partners and protect them from injury at all times.
- I will be generous with my knowledge and courteous with my behaviour.
- I will respect the right of all members to choose their training partners, mentors and their individual BJJ journey.
- I will respect members’ rights to participate in specific segregation periods of training (women only, families only, noise-sensitive training) designated on the Rogue BJJ Canberra schedule.
- I will consider the needs of other members when making noise, watching TV or playing music in the studio.
- I acknowledge that Private and Semi-Private training takes precedence over all other training in the studio, and will ensure that my own concurrent training does not impede the conduct of those sessions.
- I will respect Private and Semi-Private mentoring in the studio and conduct myself quietly and courteously so as not to disturb that training.
When I invite a guest into the studio
- I will supervise any guest I bring into the studio and ensure they have signed a waiver, acknowledged the Members Code of Conduct and paid a guest registration fee.
- I will ensure my guest trains with no other members but me, unless a studio Mentor has cleared them to do so.
- I will ensure my guest adheres to the Members Code of Conduct.
- If my guest contravenes the Members Code of Conduct, I will escort them from the premises and notify a Mentor in writing of the breach.
Agreement
Acknowledging the code
You acknowledge this code when you register, and by training at Rogue BJJ Canberra you agree to be bound by it. Registration happens before you train — Rogue does not take walk-ins.
If something here is unclear, or you want to talk through how it applies to you, get in touch before you come in. We would rather answer the question than have you guess.
