Clubhouse General Protocols:

• Do not flirt with the facilitators.

• This is a place where BIPOC, trans women, and sex workers would like to have their emotional guard down.
  • If you’re not familiar with how these groups like to be treated, you must educate yourself somewhere else besides this clubhouse.

• You’re expected to pitch in for the overhead cost (pay what you can, even if just a tiny bit) because this is a clubhouse, not a public community center. Exceptions:
  • you’re attending a free class/event
  • you're a clubhouse facilitator
  • you're taking advantage of the free membership offered to certain groups

• Conflicts should be taken to a Community Moderator, not a teacher or webmaster.
  • If you can’t locate a moderator in person, ask for a moderator on the Discord.

• Wear a mask when indoors.
• Refrain from using motorcycle flammables & sprays while there is a class upstairs.
• Except for food, do not donate equipment without first planning with a facilitator how it will be stored.
• Don’t assume you can leave food or projects out for your later use; this is a very active space with no storage capacity.
  • Personal motorcycles can only stay overnight if you are working on it the next morning & you've schedule a facilitator to open the door for you.

Martial Arts Training Protocols:

• No sexiness (even with your existing partners).
• No cruising for dates (do it downstairs or outside).

• Continually create an “opt-in” environment; don't assume someone is still participating just because they participated in the last exercise.
• Tap out before it hurts, either physically or emotionally.
• Play Gentle.
  • Note size & age differences, and ask about previous injuries.
  • Use cleverness instead of speed or strength.
  • Injuries decrease everyone’s survivability, not just your own.

• Wear a mask.
• Wash your hands & use the blue foot scrub station.
• Shoes off upstairs.
  • If you can’t train barefoot, use fresh socks or wrestler’s shoes.
• Wear clean clothes.
• Shower ahead of time.
• Don’t wear scents.
• If you have cuts, tape them up.
• Prevent scratches to the mats or to each other:
  • No metal or hard things (ie. hard zippers, belt buckles, watches, jewelry).
  • Clip your nails & toenails.
  • Intentionally long nails should be covered or otherwise managed.
