What Should I Wear On My First Day?

Athletic shorts or leggings and a t-shirt are perfect for your first day. After your first class, we have all the gear you might need at our PRO shop ready to go.

Yes, we offer discounted family rates and we also offer discounts for Law Enforcement Officers. We are proud partners of the WE DEFY FOUNDATION and also ADOPT-A-COP BJJ.

What is the youngest age you teach?

We recommend age 4 and over but really it all depends on the child. We want to make sure that this is a positive and fun experience for each child and therefore we would like them to be able to follow direction, focus and feel confident enough to get on the mat.

I have no experience. Will I be okay?

Absolutely! Many of the students are newer to the sport as well and everyone is always willing to lend a helping hand. The first class can feel intimidating but remember everyone started right where you are!
