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 4. We have programs for ages 4-6 and 7-13 as well as 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?

We recommend attending classes at least twice a week for consistent progress. However, the frequency 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.
