VBSK Boksen

HOUSE RULES

Although we expect our members to always act with integrity and good judgment, our club also has its own house rules. We expect every member to have read and understood these rules upon registration and to comply with them at all times. In case of violations of these house rules or misconduct, the club reserves the right to terminate a member's membership and deny them access to the premises. Our house rules consist of a code of honour and a set of general rules of conduct, which must be respected by every member.

CODE OF HONOUR

Fighting takes place only in the ring, never on the street.
You may only use the boxing techniques you have learned to defend yourself or others.
You may never use boxing techniques against someone who cannot defend themselves.
Honor, loyalty and commitment to this code are more important than any technique, rank or title.
Discrimination, insults, offensive language, harassment or bullying will not be tolerated.
Always remain sportsmanlike, even if others are not.
Respect your training partner and their level.
Respect each other's property and that of the club.
Avoid causing nuisance or disturbance after training has finished.
