How to start jiu jitsu

3 TIPS ON GETTING STARTED

1  /  Come and observe

Come meet the instructors to get a class placement that suits your comfort and skill level. Beginner classes are Tuesday and Thursday nights at 6:00pm.

2  /  Registering for a 2 week trial

When you register for a 2 week trial you should have the appropriate gear for the classes that you want to participate in. It is not uncommon for us to have a Gi you may wear for trial classes if you don't own one. For NoGi we recommend fight shorts and a rash guard. During the two week trial you may wear gym shorts and a t-shirt for NoGi if needed.

3  /  Signing up for a membership

At anytime during your trial, you can sign up for membership. Our memberships are month to month. When you sign up for membership you will be offered a discount on items like a Gi, rash guard, or fight shorts.

What is your membership policy?

Memberships are month to month and are due on the 1st or 15th of the month, depending on your start date.
