23 Oct Can’t get a Black Belt without good hygiene

I was talking to a student the other day, and they mentioned that they don’t even truly understand to tie their belt perfectly every day yet.  It got me to thinking about how we teach, and lead.  Specifically it got me to thinking about how at our school we don’t swear on the mats, we keep the school clean every single day by using a top notch cleaner, called Airbiotics.  It’s a little more expensive, but it does a great job keeping the school amazing and comfortable for everyone.  On top of that, we do talk about and enforce a clean and scent free uniform policy.  If you are one of those that keeps your gi clean, your shorts and rashguard clean, thank you for leading the way.  It is truly our special place where we get to forget everything else except the amazing art of Jiu Jitsu for an hour or two, as many times a week as we can.  Thank you all for preserving this environment for all the new people coming so that we can create a great and supportive culture that supports learning, improvement, fun, and great growth for everyone.  Much appreciated everyone!
