🤝 RESPECT THE ROOM, RESPECT THE PROCESS

Respect in jiu jitsu isn’t just about etiquette—it’s about mindset.

At Elevated Studios in Wilmington, Delaware, respect shows up in how we treat the room, the process, and the people around us.

Mat Application

Respect on the mat looks like:

• Checking in with training partners before rolling
• Being aware of space and safety
• Keeping your gear clean and yourself prepared

These actions communicate something powerful: this training matters, and so do the people in it.

Life Application

Respecting the process also means honoring where you are in your journey. Progress isn’t always loud or obvious. Sometimes it looks like:

• Showing up on hard days
• Choosing discipline over comfort
• Staying consistent when motivation fades

That kind of respect builds resilience—and it carries far beyond jiu jitsu.

Strong rooms are built on mutual respect, and we’re grateful to train alongside people who uphold that standard every day.

See you on the mat,

– Coach Steve
