General

Glasses-wearer should use contact-lenses as far as possible (lowered risk of injury)

You should always arrive at the school five minutes before the training actually starts, it leaves you enough time for unexpected delays and a relaxed and assorted start of the lesson.

Additional work out of the muscles is not necessary, to move the weight of the training-partner strengthens the right muscles in just the right way and is an important aspect of developing functional power. Isolated workouts hinder flowing movements and are controversial to the training-objectives

Body-decoration that might cause injury (earrings, piercings, nose rings, chains, wristbands, foot bands among others…) has to be taken off before every lesson!

Who likes to do additional training at home, should regularly deal with his respective from, as slow as possible and later as well as fast as possible. To do it on one leg only, with the eyes closed can also be a challenge.
