Adults
Jiu-Jitsu
The most effective martial art on the planet, taught in a room where nobody is trying to prove anything at your expense. Gi and No-Gi, mornings and evenings, six days a week.
You do not need to be in shape to start.
That sentence stops most people before they ever walk in. They plan to get fit first, then start jiu-jitsu. It never happens in that order โ you get in shape by training, and week one is designed for someone who has never done it.
Our adult classes run beginners and advanced students in the same room, which is how good schools work. You will roll with people who have been training for years. They are not there to hurt you; they are there to get better, and beating up a new person teaches them nothing.
We train Gi on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and No-Gi on Wednesday and Thursday mornings. Most people start with whichever fits their calendar and figure out their preference later.

What you actually learn
Position Before Submission
Control the situation first. Escapes, guard retention, and the positional hierarchy that makes everything else possible.
Leverage Over Strength
Technique that works when the other person is bigger. This is the entire point of the art and it is not a marketing line.
Live Training
Rolling against a fully resisting partner. It is the reason jiu-jitsu works and the reason it is honest about what does not.
Conditioning That Comes Free
Nobody makes you do burpees. Six rounds of rolling does more for your engine than an hour on a treadmill.
Adult class times
Your first class
Book it
Fill in the form and we will confirm a time that works. No card, no commitment.
Show up 15 minutes early
Meet an instructor, sign the waiver, get the tour. Wear a t-shirt and shorts or leggings with no pockets, zips, or buttons.
Warm up and drill
You will be partnered with someone experienced who knows it is your first day.
Roll โ or watch
Entirely your call on day one. Plenty of people sit out their first round and jump in the next class.
Before you come in
I am not fit enough yet.
Nobody is, on day one. Go at your own pace, tap early, sit out a round when you need to. Fitness is a by-product of showing up, not a prerequisite.
Will I get hurt?
Jiu-jitsu carries real injury risk and we do not pretend otherwise. What reduces it is tapping early, training with control, and telling your partner when something is uncomfortable. Our instructors watch for it.
Do I need a gi to start?
No. Wear athletic clothing without pockets or zips for your first few classes and buy a gi once you know you are staying.
I am in my forties. Fifties.
Good. Two of the best reasons to train are the two things that get harder with age โ mobility and staying calm under pressure. Train at the intensity you choose.
What about competing?
Entirely optional. Most of our members never compete. If you want to, Sunday competition training is there for you.
Your first class is free.
No payment method, no commitment, no pressure. Fill in the form and we will be in touch to confirm a time.
