Before you beginYour first step,
Your first step,
simplified.
A few things to know before
your first visit.
I'm new to jiu-jitsu. Where do I start?
Start by requesting a free trial. Tell us which program interests you, and the academy can help you choose a class and explain what to expect.
What should I bring or wear?
Ask the academy when arranging your trial. What you need may depend on whether you're attending gi, no-gi, or boxing. We'll help you confirm the right class and what to bring before you visit.
What's the difference between gi and no-gi?
Gi jiu-jitsu uses a traditional jacket, trousers, and belt, with techniques that can use grips on the uniform. No-gi is practiced without that uniform and its grips. Both are part of our jiu-jitsu programs.
Is there a program for my child?
Mighty Mites is for ages 4–7, and we also offer Kids Jiu-Jitsu. A parent or guardian can contact the academy to confirm the best program. You don't need to send your child's name or personal details through this website.
How do I find out about membership?
Email the academy for current membership options and pricing. You can ask any questions when requesting a free trial, too.
