Frequently asked questions
We have 4 BJJ fundamental classes each week. These run Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday at 5:15pm til 6pm and is a No GI class. These classes are a perfect starting point and consist of a small warmup and basic technique. The live wrestling in this class is controled to specific positions. You are welcome to attend any BJJ class on the timetable if you are a beginner (outside of Advanced class) as your instructor will be tailoring the session for their least and most experienced students. Don't feel worried as we all had to start at some point, just pick a class from the timetable, come in 15 mins before class and be ready to have fun.
We understand that if you have not trained before you will not have any equipment. What we recommend is, as a minimum your clothing must not be able to scratch or hurt your training partners. This means: No zippers, buttons or loose clothing. Just wear comfortable clothes and you can chat to your instructor about buying the correct gear once you start your training. (On a side note, also ensure your fingernails and toenails are cut short)
Our Kids BJJ classes currently cater for kids 4 years of age to 14.Check out the Kid's Brazilian JiuJitsu page for more info.
Sure! We always prefer that you come in and try out a class, that way you can actually get a feel for what you are embarking upon, but if you are a little shy and want to just put your feet in before diving in that's fine also. All we ask is that you are respectful, come to class before the starting time, talk to the instructor in charge and enjoy.
This is a surprisingly common statement made by individuals. What we say is that you will get in shape by coming in, trying out a class and getting started on your martial arts journey. We had a student that came to us at close to 170kg and now less that 12 months later is under 100kg and still dropping. Making the choice to start with us may save your life in many ways but getting in shape physically will happen as a great by product.
No need to book. Come along 15 mins before class and be ready to have fun.
