Our Programs

Absolutely! Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is perfect for adult beginners. Unlike striking arts, BJJ focuses on leverage and technique rather than strength, making it accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels. Our fundamentals classes are specifically designed for beginners, and you'll be amazed at how quickly you can learn effective self-defense techniques.

For meaningful progress, we recommend training 2-3 times per week minimum. Consistent training is more important than intensity. Many of our students train 4-5 times per week and see rapid improvement. The key is showing up consistently - even 2 times per week will yield significant results over time.

Not at all. You can and should be able to come as frequently as you want and your schedule allows you to do so. The only thing that changes is that if you come not as often, our graduation system is based on frequency - so you may delay your stripes and belts, which is totally okay. The way we walk this journey should be respectful to people's personal desires and availability.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the most effective self-defense system available. The early UFC proved this definitively - Royce Gracie defeated much larger, stronger opponents using pure BJJ technique. It was designed to allow smaller, weaker individuals to defend against larger attackers using leverage and technique. Unlike striking arts, BJJ works in real-world scenarios where fights often go to the ground. You'll learn to control, submit, and escape from dangerous positions.

For your first class, wear comfortable athletic clothing - t-shirt, athletic shorts or pants, and bring a water bottle. If you don't have a gi, we can provide one for your first few classes. Once you decide to continue, we'll help you find the right gi. For No-Gi classes, a rash guard and athletic shorts work perfectly.

Blue belt typically takes 1-2 years of consistent training (2-3 times per week). This is when you transition from beginner to intermediate. However, focus on learning, not belts. The journey and the skills you develop are more valuable than any belt color. Every student progresses at their own pace.

BJJ will get you in shape! Many of our students started out of shape and transformed their fitness through training. BJJ provides excellent cardio, strength, and flexibility training. Start at your own pace - there's no pressure to keep up with anyone else. Your fitness will improve naturally as you train.
