Student 

​

​Once awarded placement into a Student Program, there is an expectation of commitment from the sponsored student, the student's parent(s)/legal guardian(s), and the referring trusted adult. Ginger-Jitsu requires a 6-month commitment of a minimum of twice-weekly attendance in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) training at a partnering academy.

​

Student and Parent/Guardian must:

• Agree to follow​ Ginger-Jitsu's Student Program guidelines and any other requirements set by the sponsoring academy.

• Ensure monthly check-ins are arranged with the student's trusted adult nominator.

• Maintain respectful behavior on the mat, in school, at home, and in the community, reflecting the values of Ginger-Jitsu.

​

Nominator must:

• Agree to the level of confidentiality the student and the student's parent(s)/guardian(s) request for involvement in Ginger-Jitsu's Student Program.

• Agree to remain a reliable point of contact.

• Provide at least one check-in per month via email. This will be sent and documented via a Google Forms survey. Of course, nominators are encouraged to communicate via email for unscheduled communication of issues, successes, or concerns.

​

Partner Academy Responsibilities & Loss of Sponsorship:

• Partnering academies must agree to the level of confidentiality requested by the student and the student's parent(s)/guardian(s). 

• Sponsorship may be terminated if the student repeatedly misses classes without notice, shows a lack of commitment, or disregards the program values. Remaining funds may be redistributed to another Ginger-Jitsu student, ensuring that opportunities remain available to students who are ready and committed.

• Partnering Academies may not use funds for non-Ginger-Jitsu-related purposes, and doing so will immediately terminate the partnership. If there is not a ready student, the partnering academy must reinvest or return the funds to Ginger-Jitsu.
