Yes! You are more than welcome to come and observe any of our scheduled classes.
No! We have people of all ages participating in our programs.
Safe training is our primary concern. Our qualified instructors teach their techniques slowly, with thought, and ensure that students are conducting their practice to remove injuries from the equation.
No experience required! Everybody had their first day and we hope you can have yours here with us.
Yes, we have both males and females in all our classes.
We like to mix things up to keep it exciting, but a typical class will start off with a brief warm-up. Sometimes the warm-up will be calisthenic-type movements. Other times it will be a functional warm-up where we incorporate movements that will be used during the technique portion of the class. Then the bulk of the class will be spent performing techniques that the instructor demonstrates. The instructor will monitor and help you drill the moves correctly until you are able to perform them without help.
See our Schedule for more information.
No-Gi is the common term for Jiu-Jitsu without the uniform. You will utilize many of the same concepts as the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes, but the grips are different since you do not have a uniform to grab. Typical attire is shorts and a t-shirt.
After your one-week free trial is complete, we will discuss the cost of membership with you (and your family). We offer different rates depending on the number of members in a household.
