Questions, answered
Everything new members ask.
Do I need any experience? +
None at all. Most members walked in having never trained jiu-jitsu, and every class is structured so beginners can follow from day one.
Which classes are available for kids and teens? +
The weekly schedule includes classes for ages 5–7, 8–11, 12–16, 8–16, 3–4. Select Kids Program in the booking form and we will help you choose the right first class for your child.
I already train. Is this a good fit? +
Absolutely. We coach all levels with a structured curriculum and strong training partners across the belts. Experienced grapplers, professional athletes, and visitors are always welcome on the mat.
Can I still do this if I am older or out of shape? +
Yes. Jiu-jitsu runs on leverage and technique, not size or athleticism. We have members of every age and body type, and you will progress at your own pace.
What should I wear to my free evaluation class? +
Just comfortable athletic clothes. We will provide everything else you need for your first evaluation class.
How much does membership cost? +
We are not the cheapest academy in town - and that is intentional. We invest heavily in world-class coaching, a clean facility, and a culture focused on helping people become stronger on and off the mats. Your first evaluation class is free and we will walk you through all the options in person. No pressure.
Am I locked into a contract? +
No. We have a variety of memberships and you stay because you want to - never because you are locked in.
What happens at my free evaluation class? +
You will be welcomed, paired with an experienced member or coach, and walked through the basics. No pressure to sign up - just come see if it is for you.
Your first evaluation class is free.
No experience, no contract, no pressure. Book it in 30 seconds and come see what you are capable of.
