Getting ready for your class
Looking forward to having you in class!
Someone will be in touch with you soon for scheduling. Here is some information about the training. Directions to the academy and what you will need for class follow further below.
About the Classes and Training
One of the amazing things about Jiu Jitsu is that, because we are studying leverage and timing, no matter what your current size or athletic ability - the class will be custom fit to you.
When YOU get an Introductory lesson to Jiu Jitsu it is YOUR class.
Meaning we follow the principle;
“Make the Jiu Jitsu fit you, not you fit the Jiu Jitsu”
Learning Jiu Jitsu helps you learn how You best move on the mat.
You learn HOW leverage is found and used in grappling - for your size and strength. How you most effectively apply, or resist, force.
You learn how to approach different people of a variety of athletic attributes using skill with martial arts, not blind rage or freaking out.
Jiu Jitsu is designed to help YOU become as skillful as possible - much faster than you might think
We do a great job of meeting you where you are at, and helping you get where you would like to be - with Jiu Jitsu
Do You Need to Go “Get in Shape” to train?
Not at all.
Will training get you in better shape and condition.
Absolutely!
We are studying how the art of Jiu Jitsu allows you to defend yourself. Because we are grappling - no striking allowed, AND we dial the intensity of the training down to where it is productive, (we are having a training practice, not.a fighting practice), you can pick up a lot of skill in a short amount of time.
Learning new things that you can do right away, (especially against a resistance opponent), is an awesome feeling!
The training is a workout AND it is productive skill building
If you continue to train at least a few times a week, that will naturally lead to you actually getting into Jiu Jitsu shape. You can only learn that on the Jiu Jitsu mat.
Alternatively, you could watch Netflix on the treadmill and learn nothing.
Don’t do that! COME TRAIN!

We are the last building on the South end of the block. There is no sign on the building however our door is right behind the address label and you will see mats inside. Please come inside.
Some navigation systems are directing people to our back alley - that is not our entrance!
