FAQ
DO I HAVE TO BE IN SHAPE TO GET STARTED?
Not at all. You’ll find that our classes for beginners are the perfect way to build up your overall fitness level regardless of your physical condition. Good luck!
CAN I COME AND WATCH A CLASS?
Yes! You are more than welcome to come and observe any of our scheduled classes.
AM I TOO OLD TO START MARTIAL ARTS TRAINING?
No! We have people of all ages participating in our programs.
WILL I GET HURT DURING TRAINING?
Safe training is our primary concern. Our qualified instructors teach their techniques slowly, with thought, and ensure that students are conducting their practice as to remove injury from the equation.
DO I HAVE TO HAVE PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE TO PARTICIPATE?
No experience required! Everybody had their first day and we hope you can have yours here with us.
ARE CLASSES CO-ED?
Yes, we have both males and females in all our classes.
WHAT IS A TYPICAL CLASS LIKE?
We like to mix things up to keep it exciting, but a typical class will start off with a brief warm-up. Sometimes the warm up will be calisthenic-type movements. Other times it will be a functional warm up where we incorporate movements that will be used during the technique portion of the class. Then the bulk of the class will be spent performing techniques that the instructor demonstrates. The instructor will monitor and help you drill the moves correctly until you are able to perform them without help.
WHAT IS THE TRAINING SCHEDULE?
See our Schedule for more information.
What is No-Gi and what is the attire?
No-Gi is the common term for Jiu-Jitsu without the uniform. You will utilize many of the same concepts as the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes, but the grips are different since you do not have a uniform to grab. Typical attire is shorts and a t-shirt.
WHAT SORT OF PRICING DO YOU HAVE?
After your one week free trial is complete, we will discuss the cost of membership with you (and your family). We offer different rates depending on the amount of members in a household.
