What to expect
Jiu Jitsu can be intimidating for new students, but it doesn’t have to be. That’s why we pride our school on having a welcoming environment for everyone. Our goal as instructors is for our students to have a great learning experience , get a good physical workout, and most of all have fun. You’ll train at your individual pace and comfort level. Your confidence and ability to defend yourself will naturally improve with training over time. You’ll soon find that the most experienced practitioners are also the friendliest and most helpful people you’ll ever meet.
Class Attire
The two different styles of classes are Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Submission Grappling.
Your class attire is the main difference between the two.
BJJ is a gi class. You’ll wear a traditional martial arts uniform, a BJJ Gi and belt. Students are responsible for purchasing their own gi and white belt.
Submission grappling is a no gi class. Shorts, spats or yoga pants, and a t-shirt or rash guard is the required attire.
