What age can someone start training Jiu-Jitsu?

While martial arts training can start at any age, we offer Jiu-Jitsu programs for kids as young as age 1. We also have adult classes, ensuring there's a suitable program for everyone, regardless of age.

Do I need any prior experience to join a class?

No prior experience is necessary! We offer the Jiu-Jitsu 101 program for those new to Jiu-Jitsu. As you progress, you can transition to more advanced classes, ensuring a steady and comprehensive learning experience.

What should I wear to my first class?

For your first class, wear comfortable athletic clothing that allows for easy movement. We will have a trial uniform that you can leave at the academy after class. We include a gi uniform with your enrollment to the academy.

How often should I attend classes to see progress?

Our school methodology is based on an attendance of 3-4 times per week for adults and 2-4 times per week for children. This allows students to build on the techniques presented throughout the week and make connections between concepts. In addition, this will allow the student to graduate on time. Keep in mind, the frequency of attendance can vary based on individual goals, schedules, and age.

Is sparring mandatory?

Sparring is an integral part of Jiu-Jitsu but is not mandatory, especially for beginners. Safety is our top priority, and sparring is typically introduced when a student is ready both physically and mentally. We recommend purchasing a mouth guard, available at the academy.

What colors can my gi be?

White, true blue, and black gis only. A rashguard is required under your gi. For all gis purchased outside the academy, a patch must be added. Patches are available for purchase at the academy. For visitors, we require gi uniforms with no other affiliation patches.

What should I wear to Nogi?
