This website looks like a good resource.

I found the following section especially relevant…

Basic Etiquette

  • Keep your uniform clean.
  • Avoid foul language.
  • Respect everyone.
  • Never challenge an instructor to a fight. (Ask politely for help.)
  • Be on time for class.
  • Call your instructor if you will be absent for a length of time.
  • Always bow or shake hands before sparring.
  • NEVER get too aggressive while sparring, you should relax and go easy - don’t grind away, or go too hard trying to tap people out.
  • No Shoes on the mat.
  • Refrain from horseplay, talking, and interrupting while your instructor is teaching.
  • Keep yourself properly groomed.

I think the “relax and go easy” is the hardest part for me.  Maybe that’s why I want to puke after rolling?
