Frequently asked questions
What should I bring to my first class?
Wear comfortable athletic clothing and bring a water bottle. We provide everything else for your free trial.
Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu suitable for beginners?
Yes. BJJ is for beginners of all ages and fitness levels. Most of our students started with zero experience.
Do I need to be in shape to start?
No. You get in shape by training. We meet you where you are and build from there.
I'm worried about getting injured. Is it safe?
BJJ emphasizes technique and control, not brute force. It is one of the safest martial arts to train.
Can it help with self-defense?
Absolutely. BJJ teaches effective, real-world self-defense for people of every size.
I do not want to compete. Can I still train?
Of course. Most of our members train for fitness, confidence and community, never to compete.
