CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR NEW BLACK BELTS

8/16/2023

 
DANIEL CERVELIN | RELSON GRACIE | DR. JIM SCOGGIN
Congratulations Dr. Jim Scoggin (30 years of loyalty to Relson Gracie) and Daniel Cervelin (17 years of training at RSA) on achieving the rank of Black Belt. Also, to Chris Laird (30+ years training under Relson Gracie) on attaining the rank of fourth degree Black Belt. You guys are awesome!
Everyone I witnessed go through the process of getting their Black Belt and passing the Relson Gracie test has always made me feel so grateful and happy for them and excited for the future. It is so awesome to be part of the journey from white belt and beyond. I’m glad you guys persevered and are part of RSA. ​I will never forget. ​Thank you RSA Black Belts.
​Also, thank you Laurent for being an indispensable part of our program. We value you. Aloha everyone! From: Ronn Shiraki

RSA STANDARDS AND BEST PRACTICES FOR
​UPPER BELTS / INSTRUCTORS

1. Anyone of the opposite sex, minors and all RSA instructors are never to be alone at the academy together [or alone in any rooms]. If a female/minor student, or parent find themselves at the academy alone with a male instructor, the female/minor student or parent must wait outside the dojo until another instructor or adult arrives. If a minor member arrives by themselves, parents are required to wait with their son or daughter before they leave until two adults arrive to the academy or Jiu-Jitsu related event. This is required as we do not want children waiting outside by themselves. The above policy extends beyond just the academy to: car rides, school activities and tournaments.
2. There is zero tolerance for any fraternizing between RSA instructors and female/minor students and parents. RSA Instructors are held to a higher standard and are prohibited from dating and corresponding with members and parents of the opposite sex. Furthermore, phone calls, text messages or communication through any other media such as social networks is specifically prohibited between instructors and students and parents of the opposite sex and all minors. This is to ensure that inappropriate interaction between staff members, parents and students are completely avoided.
3. All members are required to change in the bathroom at all times if stripping down to underwear. If you are uncomfortable with changing in the bathroom, we ask that you change in your car or at home before entering the dojo. We do not allow members to dress for class in hallways or the outside areas.
5. Video taping and inappropriate conversations in person or via digital communication are not allowed between instructors and students.
6. Kids must remain in eyesight of their parents at all times before and after classes. All students under the age of 14 must wait for their ride to arrive in the dojo hallway.
7. RSA has been built on many years of a lot of sacrifice, hard work, tears and, yes, blood. Our collective aim is to maintain the highest level of safety for everyone while growing and maintaining a reputation of excellence in professionalism. Those who have violated the sacred trust of the teacher student relationship will be asked to step away from the academy. However, we are confident that those lacking the integrity to maintain appropriate relationships and boundaries will remove themselves. If this is the case, please demonstrate respect for the team and remember all you’ve attained at RSA. The policies and procedures may seem to be too rigid for some. If this is true for you, please find another place to train.
8. Private Lessons with Instructors and opposite sex or minors are only allowed in the dojo with two or more adults present. We are serious about avoiding any problems that may arise from home training or one on one private sessions.
