HOW TO GET STARTED! ​

General Question

During your first week of training, you don’t have to worry about purchasing a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Gi uniform right away! We’re more than happy to lend you one for just a £10 laundry fee. This way, you can dive into the world of BJJ and see if it’s the perfect fit for you before investing in your own Gi. After your first week, we encourage you to consider buying your own Gi. We have great prices available in our in-house store, and you can try them on before you buy! Plus, sometimes you can even get a FREE Gi when you purchase our Starter Pack. If you have any questions, feel free to ask any of our friendly staff! 

It's important to ensure your finger nails and toe nails are well kept. If you have longer hair we advise having it tied up in a ponytail or bun during classes. Please do not wear piercings or jewelry during your sessions as these can cause injury and/or get damaged. 

1. Warm-Up – The session starts with a warm-up, which includes basic BJJ movements like shrimping, stretching, and some light cardio to get your body ready.
 
2.Learning Techniques – The instructor will demonstrate techniques, usually focused on a fundamental position or submission. You’ll pair up with a partner to practice.
 
3.Drilling – You’ll repeat movements to build muscle memory, sometimes with light resistance.
 
4.Rolling (Sparring) – Some classes may include sparring, but as a beginner, you won’t be expected to roll right away unless you’re comfortable.
 
5.Class Duration – Classes typically last 1 to 1.5 hours.
