Do adults train with kids? Are classes combined?

No, kids train within their own age groups and are paired with someone their own age for sessions. Coaches may occasionally join in to assist but always ensure a gentle and supportive environment. On Saturdays, we offer a special optional session where kids can train with their parents at no cost to the parents. During these Saturday sessions, kids are only paired with their own parent, not with anyone else's.

Can I drop off my child, or do I need to stay during the session?

We encourage parents to stay and watch their child during training, as we have a comfortable seating area available for you. However, many parents also choose to drop off their child for the one-hour session. The choice is entirely up to you!

Do I need any prior experience to start?

No experience is necessary to begin Jiu-Jitsu. Our beginner-friendly classes are tailored to teach you step-by-step, whether it’s your first day or you’re returning after a break.

Do I need to be in shape to start Jiu-Jitsu?

Absolutely not! Jiu-Jitsu is for everyone, regardless of their current fitness level, size, or shape. If you can walk, sit, and stand, you’re ready to begin. Our classes are designed to help you build strength, flexibility, and endurance over time, at your own pace.

Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu safe?

Yes, Jiu-Jitsu is one of the safest martial arts when practiced correctly. It emphasizes control and technique rather than brute force. Our experienced trainers and instructors are with you every step of the way to ensure a safe and enjoyable learning environment. Unlike striking-based martial arts, Jiu-Jitsu focuses on submissions and positional control, reducing the risk of injury.

How does Jiu-Jitsu differ from other martial arts?

Jiu-Jitsu is unique because it is centered on leverage, technique, and strategy rather than size or strength. According to injury statistics, Jiu-Jitsu has one of the lowest injury rates among martial arts, making it safer than striking arts like boxing or kickboxing. Its practical self-defense techniques are also highly effective for real-world situations.
