// first time
The Lab is small, direct, and built around honest rounds. You do not need to perform; you do need to pay attention, protect your partner, and bring a real problem to test.
Warm up, talk through the problem, then get to useful reps quickly.
Ask questions when a detail is unclear; silence helps nobody learn.
Tap early, reset clean, and keep the room sharp enough for tomorrow.
Intensity rises by agreement, not surprise.
Clean gear, trimmed nails, water, and a notebook if you track your work.
A specific question from your own rounds.
Enough humility to let a bad rep teach you something.
Best for people who like problem-solving, drilling with resistance, and live feedback.
Not built for ego theater, belt-chasing, or treating partners like props.
// pace
The room can be intense without being careless. The point is to make the problem honest enough to learn from, then reset before the training partner pays for your pride.
Ask before raising pace.
Tap early enough to train again tomorrow.
Reset when a scramble turns messy.
Help your partner find the break, not just feel it.
