Cleanliness & safety

01 · Cleaning

A professional cleaning service comes three times a week. Between visits, we sweep, vacuum, and disinfect the mats after every training session — not once a day, after every session.

02 · The mats

2 in

Training tatami, full thickness

4 in

Foam under the mats — absorbs falls

6 in

Bounce, protection, safety

03 · Kids

Kids' classes are supervised by multiple coaches at the same time. That means nobody is left alone, techniques are demonstrated and corrected in small groups, and there's always an adult nearby when they're rolling.

04 · What we expect from you

  1. 01

    Clean gear every class. Rashguard and shorts washed before stepping on the mats. No yesterday's clothes.

  2. 02

    Shower between two classes. If you train twice on the same day, shower and change clothes between sessions.

  3. 03

    Skin infections: stay off the mats. Open cut, rash, fungus, wart — we ask you to stay off until it's healed.

  4. 04

    Short nails. Hands and feet. It prevents cuts for you and your partners.

FAQ

Frequently asked.

  • Are the mats disinfected between classes?

    Yes. Mats are swept, vacuumed, and disinfected after every training session — not once a day, after each class. A professional cleaning service also comes through three times a week.

  • Is it safe for kids?

    Yes. Kids classes are supervised by several coaches at the same time. No child is left alone on the mats, and sparring is closely watched.

  • What if I have a skin infection or an open cut?

    Stay off the mats until it heals — open cuts, rashes, fungus, warts. It's to protect everyone, you included.

  • What should I wear to train?

    Clean rashguard and shorts for every class — washed before stepping on the mats, adults and kids alike. Short nails, hands and feet.

  • Are the mats safe for falls?

    Yes. Full 2-inch training tatami, over 4 inches of shock-absorbing foam, over 6 more inches of protective base. Ten inches of padding under your feet.

  • Do I need to shower between two classes?

    Yes. If you're taking two classes in the same day, shower and change gear between them. Fresh kit for every session.

  • How does 450 prevent skin infections (ringworm, staph)?

    Three rules: mats disinfected after every session (not once a day), members stay off the mats with any cut, rash, fungus, or wart until fully healed, and clean gear required every class. All three together cut the risk dramatically.

  • Do kids and adults share the mats?

    Yes, same space — different schedules. Kids classes have dedicated time slots. Mats are disinfected between every class, so the space stays clean regardless of which group just trained.

  • What actually makes a jiu-jitsu gym clean?

    Three things: how often mats get cleaned (after every class, not once a day), the quality of disinfectant used, and group culture — members who follow the rules (clean gear, short nails, shower between classes, stay off the mats if infected). At 450, all three apply.
