We take our students' safety very seriously. The attention to safety and the student's well-being always comes first. Proper self-defense and martial arts training, however, includes contact. If it doesn't, how can it possibly be called self-defense? Being that Jiu-Jitsu is a combat sport, there is a chance for injuries to occur; however, by being extremely strict in our enforcement of mat rules and etiquette, we drastically reduce those chances.
