BLACK LOTUS MMA TRAINING GUIDELINES

HYGIENE

Good hygiene is essential in combat sports and helps create a clean, safe training environment for everyone at Black Lotus MMA.

Please make sure to:

  • Arrive with clean training clothes and equipment

  • Wash rashguards, shorts, gloves, shin guards, and hand wraps regularly

  • Keep fingernails and toenails short and clean

  • Cover any cuts or abrasions before training

  • Avoid training if you suspect a contagious skin condition

  • Bring your own towel and water bottle

  • Shower promptly after training when possible

No Street Shoes Inside the Gym

Street shoes are not permitted anywhere inside Black Lotus MMA.

Please remove your shoes upon entering the gym and use clean sandals/flip-flops when moving around off the mats.

CONDUCT

At Black Lotus MMA, we aim to build a respectful, disciplined, and welcoming training environment.

All members and visitors are expected to:

  • Respect coaches, staff, and training partners

  • Follow instructions given by coaches

  • Train responsibly and with control

  • Help maintain a positive atmosphere in the gym

  • Respect all levels of experience, from beginners to competitors

  • Avoid dangerous, reckless, or aggressive behavior

Ego has no place in training.

Progress comes through consistency, discipline, and respect for the team around you.

Black Lotus MMA reserves the right to refuse or terminate participation in cases of inappropriate or unsafe behavior.

PREPARATION

To get the most out of your training sessions, please arrive prepared.

Depending on the class, you may need:

  • Rashguard or appropriate sportswear

  • MMA or boxing gloves

  • Shin guards

  • Mouthguard

  • Towel

  • Water bottle

  • Clean sandals/slides

Before class, please:

  • Arrive 10 minutes early

  • Remove jewelry or accessories before training

  • Stay hydrated

  • Inform coaches of any injury or medical condition

If you are new and do not yet have all the required equipment, we may be able to help you for your first session.

BEGINNER INFO

Beginners are welcome at Black Lotus MMA.

You do not need previous experience in MMA, BJJ, boxing, or martial arts to start training.

Our goal is to provide a structured and supportive environment where members can progress at their own pace.

What to Expect

Your first sessions may include:

  • Basic striking techniques

  • Movement and footwork

  • Grappling fundamentals

  • Conditioning drills

  • Partner exercises

Sparring is always supervised and participation is voluntary.

The focus is on learning, progression, discipline, and long-term development — not on proving yourself.

Everyone starts somewhere, and consistency matters more than experience.
