Junior Testing

MT Junior Code of  Conduct

1. Always respect your parents, instructors/teachers, classmates, and yourself.
2. When you enter Jax Muay Thai you are entering a classroom and should treat it as such. Place your shoes and bags in a cubby or on a shelf then sit and wait quietly until class starts. After class clean any pads you used. hang them up then promptly leave the mat.
3. Listen to your instructor/coach in class and always address them with respect as Coach “Steve” or Coach “John”or Coach “Zach”, and Kru or Coach Giles.
4. No bullying, intimidation, smack talk, or harassment of any sort will be tolerated. Treat others as you would like to be treated.
5. Respect your own and the gym’s equipment. Clean it after use and return it to its correct place. Children in Thailand often don’t have any gloves or running shoes – recognize how incredibly fortunate you are.
6. Always wear your Jax Muay Thai uniform to class: JMT shirt and Muay Thai shorts and remember your gloves.
7. We want you to have fun but being a clown is disrespectful to the art of Muay Thai, your instructors and your parents who pay for your training. There is to be no falling over, no tripping or pushing other students, and no messing around during class.
