Common Questions

Start With Confidence

Is this beginner friendly?+
Yes. Most of our students walked in with zero experience. Your first class is a guided introduction, not a tryout, and every fundamentals class is built with new students in mind.
How much does it cost?+
$75 bi-weekly per student, the same rate for kids and adults. Your first class is free, so you can see if we are the right fit before you spend a dollar.
What should I bring to my first class?+
Comfortable athletic clothes and water. That's it. We will handle the rest and let you know exactly what you need if you decide to continue.
Is Jiu-Jitsu safe for kids?+
Yes, when it is taught correctly. Safety is the first rule on our mat. Kids classes are structured, supervised, and age-appropriate, and we teach control before intensity.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?+
There are no long-term contracts. Membership is just month-to-month.
