Personal Cleanliness

A high standard of personal cleanliness is expected when training. Apart from the obvious reason of hygiene, unwashed bodies can be offensive to a partner when working in close proximity activities. There is also the added hazard of germs affecting broken or grazed skin.



Finger and Toe Nails

Finger and toe nails should be kept short and clean. Not only can long finger and toe nails be a hazard to a partner or opponent, they can be very dangerous for the person possessing them. A sudden action could tear back a nail or worse tear it off. The reason nails should be kept clean is again because of germs affecting broken or scratched skin.



Hair

Long hair should be tied back securely to prevent accidents.



Jewellery
