Rogue BJJ Code of Conduct

---

I acknowledge that my performance as a ‘good citizen’ within Rogue BJJ Canberra 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 should reflect that priority.

I acknowledge that Rogue BJJ Canberra operates as a community studio and a shared space with other practitioners, students, and customers and that I must respect at all times.

As a ‘good citizen’, I will ensure I conduct myself in the following manner:

• Ensure my personal safety is paramount, and the care of Rogue BJJ members is treated equally.
• I will respect our shared wellbeing space, other practitioners, other students, and customers.
• I will respect and adhere to the Rogue BJJ Illegal Techniques and not apply any positions that breach this code.
• I understand that if I breach the Rogue BJJ Illegal Techniques or Rogue BJJ Code of Conduct that, I will be asked to leave the club immediately without question.
• I will leave the studio in a clean, tidy and respectful condition after a Rogue BJJ training session or class. 
• I will respect personal boundaries and the physical and mental safety of Rogue BJJ members.
• I will support the health and well-being of my training partners and protect them from injury.
• 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 the rights of Rogue BJJ members to participate in designated segregation periods of private or public training (women-only, kids and families only, noise-sensitive training) listed on the Timetable or by personal notification from an owner.
• I will consider the needs of other Rogue BJJ members and community studio residents when making noise while training or talking.
• I acknowledge that Private and Semi-Private training and classes take precedence over all other training and will ensure that my own concurrent training does not impede the conduct of those sessions.
• I will respect the conduct of Private and Semi-Private mentoring and will conduct myself in a quiet and courteous manner to not disturb those sessions.
• I will not train with children at Rogue BJJ unless I have a valid ACT working with vulnerable people card and if supervised by a Rogue BJJ mentor or owner.

When/if I refer and bring a Rogue BJJ guest to the studio:

• I am responsible for and will supervise the guests that I bring.
• I will ensure they have signed a waiver, acknowledged the Rogue BJJ Code of Conduct and booked a trial before they enter the studio.
• I will ensure that my guest trains with only me and no other Rogue BJJ members unless Mike Armstrong has cleared them to do so.
• I will ensure my guest adheres to the Rogue BJJ Code of Conduct.
• If my guest contravenes the Rogue BJJ Code of Conduct, I will escort them from the premises and notify a Rogue BJJ mentor or owner in writing of the breach. This guest will not be able to attend again or join Rogue BJJ Canberra.
