If you're new to Jiu-Jitsu, start with a free private lesson so your first time on the mat is one-on-one with an instructor. Experienced blue belts and above can also try an Advanced class.
Self-defense from day one
Beginner classes teach you how to fall safely and how to deal with a bigger, stronger person who is actually trying to hurt you. Takedowns start light, and Intermediate and Advanced classes build on them.
Train at your own pace
Come as often as you like and train at the intensity that makes sense for you. Promotions are based on attendance and your instructor's judgment. Competition is there if you want it, never required.

Near Narbonne Ave & 250th St
How does the program work when I'm brand new?
Every brand-new student starts with a free private lesson with one of our instructors. The lesson is about 20–25 minutes long.
You will go through a short warm-up and five Jiu-Jitsu techniques that you get to practice directly with your instructor. This gives you a comfortable introduction to Jiu-Jitsu and lets us give you our full attention before you join a group class.
Do I need to be in shape before I start?
No. You do not need to be in shape before starting Jiu-Jitsu. You can take breaks during class whenever you need them, and our Beginner classes start very slowly so your body has time to get used to the movements and training.
Am I too old to start Jiu-Jitsu?
No. Our oldest students are in their 70s. You can start Jiu-Jitsu at almost any age, and you can train at a pace that works for you.
Do beginners spar right away?
No. Beginners do resistance drills, but we do not have brand-new students begin regular sparring immediately.
You will begin sparring once you move into the Intermediate program and our instructors feel that you have the technique, control, and understanding necessary to train safely.
Do you train both Gi and No-Gi?
Yes. We train both Gi and No-Gi. Our No-Gi classes are currently Thursdays at 12 PM and 6 PM and are for Advanced students.
For beginners, we primarily train in the Gi. We believe the Gi slows the training down and gives new students more control while learning. It also more closely represents the types of clothing someone is likely to be wearing in a real-world self-defense situation.
How much does Adult Jiu-Jitsu cost?
We offer single-month, monthly auto-pay, and annual options for unlimited adult group classes, with no contracts. Private lessons are available separately.
You can see all of our current options on our pricing page.
Do you require contracts or long-term commitments?
No. We do not require contracts. We simply ask for a one-week cancellation notice.
We want to provide a service that students want to be part of, rather than something they feel contractually obligated to continue.
