FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What happens during my first class?
Warm-Up: Join everyone in performing Jiu Jitsu movements to get started.
Technical Instruction: Learn techniques step-by-step with guidance from our instructors.
Specific Drilling: Practice the techniques in controlled drills for better understanding.
One-on-One Orientation: We’ll bring you aside to explain the basic positions and show you a few moves from each position to get you started.
What should be worn for my first class?
So we recommend showing up in comfortable workout clothes. Similar to board shorts and a T-shirt. On Gi days, pronounced "Gee" (The uniform) we have gi's that we will lend you for your first class. For the NO-GI days (without the uniform) on Tues, Thurs and Sat, just wear the shorts and a T-shirt and you're perfectly fine.
Is Jiu Jitsu safe for kids?
Yes, Jiu Jitsu is very safe for kids when taught in a structured and supervised environment like ours. Our experienced instructors prioritize safety by teaching proper techniques and fostering a supportive atmosphere where children can learn at their own pace. We focus on building confidence, discipline, and self-defense skills in a way that’s both fun and safe for all participants.
Do I need any prior experience to join my classes?
Not at all! Our programs are designed to cater to all skill levels, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners. Whether it’s your first time stepping onto the mats or you’ve trained before, our experienced instructors will guide you every step of the way in a supportive and welcoming environment. You don’t need to worry—we’ll make sure you feel comfortable and confident from your very first class!
What is the difference between Gi and No-Gi Jiu Jitsu?
The main difference between Gi and No-Gi Jiu Jitsu is the clothing and grip style. In Gi Jiu Jitsu, practitioners wear a traditional uniform (called a "Gi"), which allows for grips on the fabric to execute techniques. In No-Gi Jiu Jitsu, practitioners wear athletic attire like rash guards and shorts, focusing on grips and techniques that don’t rely on the fabric. Both styles develop core Jiu Jitsu skills, but Gi training emphasizes grip control and traditional techniques, while No-Gi focuses more on speed and fluid transitions. Both are great ways to improve your skills!
