Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Most of our adults walked in with no background at all. Beginners are welcome in every class and instructors meet you exactly where you are. The first few weeks are about getting comfortable, not keeping up.

Gi training uses the jacket and pants for grips and control and tends to be slower and more technical. No-gi is faster and relies on body positioning instead of grips. We teach both, and you can train whichever fits you. Most members do a mix.

BJJ has one of the lowest injury rates in martial arts. There are no strikes to the face and no knockouts. Live rolling is introduced progressively once your technique is solid, and our no-ego culture keeps training controlled.

BJJ membership is $200/mo, or $250/mo for both BJJ and Muay Thai. Military, law enforcement, first responders, security, and healthcare workers train for $150/mo. We will walk you through the options after your trial class. No pressure during the trial.
