FAQs

WHO CAN TRAIN JIU JITSU?

You, your kids, and honestly, anyone else that wants too. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is incredibly effective for self-defense and fitness, but it’s also safe and can be trained at your pace and ability level.

WILL I GET HURT?

Jiu Jitsu is a unique martial art in the sense that we do a lot of real sparring (rolling) with each other. There is no more of a risk of injury than you would find in most sports. As a “gentler martial art” most folks training do not experience injury.

DO I HAVE TO COMPETE?

No, and in fact, the majority of BJJ practitioners don’t compete in tournaments. While we see a lot of value in competition, we recognize that people are interested in the many different benefits of Jiu Jitsu. Some folks here love to compete but there is no expectation for you to do so.

WHY IS JIU JITSU GOOD FOR KIDS?

Our youth students not only have a fun time learning BJJ, but they develop lifelong skills to handle conflicts, to problem solve, and to stay healthy and active. We see incredible benefits for when students bully-proof themselves and also learn the art as a competitive sport.

WHAT IS THE FIRST DAY LIKE?

If you’re new to jiu jitsu expect your first day to be incredibly relaxed and informative. Every single person on the mats was once where you are starting. You’ll find that many are excited to help you out. Don’t worry about sparring or anything over the top physical. We will meet you at your readiness level.
