Do I Need a Gi (martial arts uniform) for my First Class?

Nope, we provide a free loaner gi during your trial. We will give you a free gi when you sign up for a monthly or annual membership. For No Gi, please wear clean workout attire free of any zippers or anything else that could damage our mats. 


Do I Need to be In Shape to Start? 

No, but we recommend talking with your doctor if you have any concerns. You can take things at your own pace and the act of doing jiu-jitsu will increase your fitness overtime. You will never be forced to do anything you’re not comfortable with.


How Often are the Mats Cleaned and Disinfected?

We sweep and disinfect our mats 1- 3 times per day depending on the class schedule. They are cleaned before every block of kids classes and after the last class of the day. We deep clean the mats once per year.



Is Jiu-Jitsu Safe?

Relatively, yes. It is a contact sport, so there is potential of injury, just as there would be if you were playing soccer, basket ball etc. We strive to foster a healthy training environment wear safety is our utmost concern while practicing jiu-jitsu.
