Importance of Inclusive Gym Cultures
Creating a welcoming gym culture where everyone is treated equally, regardless of belt rank, age, or gender, is essential. Avoiding hazing practices such as lining up by belt rank or enforcing physical punishment can foster a positive environment where all members feel respected and valued. Instructors should focus on providing proper guidance and encouragement, rather than resorting to demeaning or potentially harmful practices.
