FAQs
Do I need to be fit or athletic?
There are zero fitness requirements to be able to start our beginner Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes! One of the benefits of BJJ is that it relies on technique and timing rather than strength, speed, or athleticism.
Our students start at all different fitness levels, however, you will find that you do enhance your fitness by doing our BJJ classes. Isn’t that the point though? A fun workout that gets results!
Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for women?
Absolutely! Specifically because Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) has proven reliable in defending against larger opponents for nearly a century, it is the perfect martial art for women.
Many women train in our Women Empowered program, and then transition to the co-ed Gracie Combatives classes to learn even more self-defence techniques.
We love seeing the physical confidence develop in our female students as they gain self-defence skills on the mat!
What do I need to bring to my first martial arts lesson?
Upon arriving for your first jiu-jitsu class, we will provide a uniform, called a gi, for you to wear. We recommend wearing comfortable undergarments or leggings, and a t-shirt or rashguard that you can wear under your gi. We will also have training attire available for purchase after your class.
I'm not very sporty or co-ordinated. Will that be a problem?
Not at all. In fact, many students starting in our adult martial arts classes may have described themselves like that before they started. There is absolutely no experience necessary for any of our beginner classes. You will fit right in!
Give yourself some time, and you will be astounded at what your body is capable of, and how much you can improve! Our certified martial arts instructors are trained to keep their teaching simple, effective, and beginner-focused. So even the most uncoordinated person will develop ‘ninja-like’ skills! Come see for yourself!
