What are the unwritten rules of BJJ?

etiquette

Tap when caught - do not make partners crank submissions. Do not coach others during rolls unless asked. Shower and wash your gi. Trim your nails. Do not slam people. Higher belts typically ask lower belts to roll, not the reverse. Do not walk off the mat barefoot then back on. Help fold the mats after class.
