Challenge Terms
To participate in this challenge, here are some terms we will be asking of you.
- Come ready to train. You can't reap what hasn't been sown, so be ready to arrange your schedule as necessary to get your training in.
- Participate in 2 All Ranks classes per week for 5 full weeks. Make sure these classes are booked beforehand and you always sign in on the iPad at the front desk.
- Come equipped to train.
- Wear your Katalyst T-shirt and comfortable athletic bottoms such as leggings/shorts. If you wear shorts, wear compression shorts underneath to prevent indecent exposure. Bare feet is normal on the mat, but mat shoes such as wresting or boxing shoes are recommended to prevent toe injuries.
- Boxing gloves with high quality padding to protect both your hand and your training partners.
- Mouth guard - always recommended for classes.
- Bring your water. It'll be important to stay hydrated all the way through classes. Remember, if you do ever need to take a break or sip some water outside of the designated water breaks, there's no need to ask permission. Take the time you need to be ready to participate again in class.
- Train respectfully. In class you will have one or multiple training partners. A great experience for you is creating a great experience for them.
- Stay Hygienic. Bring deodorant, a towel, and even an extra T-Shirt if necessary to keep sweat and body odor to yourself as much as possible.
- Prevent unnecessary cuts or damage to you or your partner. Keep your nails cut short and remove all jewelery (rings, earrings, necklaces, watches, bracelets).
- If at any time you have violated any type of spoken or written codes of conduct that go against the culture we are aiming to promote or preserve, we have the ability to terminate this agreement and remove you from the challenge.
- Train all the way through. At the end of your 5 weeks, we will capstone the challenge with an in-class event that will help showcase the skills you've learned along the way. The way to prepare is to keep showing up, giving it your best, and we are confident you'll have what it takes to earn your Katalyst White Belt.
