All jewelry must be removed or taped over before training.
Gi Classes
- A clean White, Blue, or Black Gi with no foul odors and a clean, properly ranked belt are required for gi classes. It is preferred that you wear a rash guard or similarly tight fitting garment under your gi top as fingers can get caught in loose clothing.

- Some Jiu-Jitsu Seminars will require a white gi, you will be notified in advance
- Patches must be sewn securely to your gi, no loose edges that could cause injury.
- Wildfire BJJ requires TEAM RHINO association patches on your gi. New students and new gi’s have a 30 day grace period.
No Gi Classes
- Gi pants or tights under shorts and a long sleeved rash guard or similarly tight fitting garment. Shorts and short sleeves are allowed but discouraged.
- Absolutely no rolling without a rash guard or similar garment during AKA "Rolling bareback"
- Please no T-shirts or loose fitting garments during no-gi for safety reasons.

- Long athletic pants with no zippers, buckles, or anything else that may damage you, your training partner or the mat.
- Long sleeved athletic shirt, rash guard, or similarly tight fitting garment.
- Shorts and short sleeved shirts are highly discouraged, but are accepted.
HYGIENE POLICY
While all martial arts are contact sports, Jiu-jitsu in particular relies on close physical contact which carries a risk of communicable and possibly serious/fatal diseases (Athlete’s Foot, Impetigo, Ringworm, Staph, MRSA, Tinea Versicolor, influenza etc.) Therefore proper hygiene is REQUIRED AT ALL TIMES.
- You and your training gear must be clean and free of any foul odors before stepping on the mats.
- NO SHOES ON THE MAT AT ANY TIME, NO BARE FEET OFF THE MAT.
- Fingernails and toenails must be clean and trimmed
- Cuts, scrapes, or any other wound must be covered and taped securely
- Any areas of concern such as rashes, discolored patches, scabbing should be brought to an instructor’s attention and cleared before training.
- Although it can be embarrassing to notify your teammates and training partners of a possible infection or illness, it is your responsibility to err on the side of caution for your own safety as well as the safety of everyone around you.
- It is always better to take a night off and be safe rather than injure or infect anyone else.
- DO NOT train if you know you have any type of infection or illness!
Failure to adhere to the hygiene policy is a serious offense and could result in the termination of your membership. Knowingly and willfully training with a communicable disease/infection could be considered a criminal action
