1. Be On Time, Stay Prepared: Being punctual is crucial not only to show respect for the class schedule but also to ensure you're mentally and physically prepared. Arrive a few minutes early to change into your gear, stretch, and mentally prepare for the class ahead. This also allows you to show respect for your fellow students and instructors by not disrupting the flow of the session.
2. Stay Hydrated and Energized: BJJ training can be physically demanding. Remember to stay hydrated before, during, and after class. Bring a water bottle and have some light snacks (avoid heavy meals) to maintain your energy levels. Proper hydration and nutrition can significantly impact your performance and endurance during training sessions.
3. Focus on Safety and Tap Early: Your safety and that of your training partners are paramount. If you find yourself in a submission or position that feels uncomfortable or potentially dangerous, don't hesitate to tap out. Tap early and tap often—it's a sign of respect for your partner and prevents unnecessary injuries. Likewise, be attentive to your partner's taps and release your hold immediately.
4. Practice Good Hygiene: Maintaining personal hygiene is crucial in a close-contact sport like BJJ. Ensure that your gi (uniform) is clean and odor-free. Keep your nails trimmed and your skin clean to prevent skin infections. Respect your training partners by maintaining good personal hygiene.
5. Reflect and Review: After each class, take a moment to reflect on what you've learned. Consider jotting down notes or mentally reviewing the techniques covered during the session. Reflecting on your training helps reinforce your learning and can provide valuable insights for improvement.
