Rules and etiquette
Rules give you a structure and a safe place to learn. Etiquette is how we show respect to the art, the coaches and your training partners. Here is what to know before your first class.
The etiquette embodies the values of humility, courtesy and gratitude, which are essential not only in martial arts but also in life.
Remember, Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai are traditional martial arts with a rich history and culture. By following these guidelines and respecting the etiquette and rules of One Way Martial Arts, you'll become not only a better martial artist but also a better person.
