Absolutely not. Our programs are structured to accommodate all levels, from absolute beginners to advanced competitors. We focus on teaching the fundamentals and building skills progressively. New students are paired with experienced partners and guided by our patient, expert coaches. Everyone begins somewhere, and we provide a supportive environment for your first steps.

For Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) classes, we recommend wearing comfortable athletic wear without zippers or pockets. If you sign up for a Gi class, we can provide a loaner uniform for your trial period. For MMA or Striking classes, athletic shorts and a t-shirt are perfect. Always bring a water bottle and a great attitude, ready to learn.

Training provides numerous benefits extending far beyond physical fitness. Students see improvements in mental discipline, focus, and stress relief. The practical skills learned also build immense confidence and a strong sense of personal security. Joining our team helps individuals become part of a strong, positive, and goal-oriented community.

Yes, safety is our highest priority in all youth programs. We teach children typically starting around age five or six. The classes are structured, supervised, and focus on discipline, respect, and controlled technique application. Our environment ensures a fun, challenging, and safe space for young people to grow as martial artists and individuals.

Consistency is the key to progress in martial arts. We generally recommend training at least two to three times per week to build muscle memory and retain techniques effectively. Many of our students train more frequently, especially those with competition goals. We encourage finding a schedule that fits your life and allows for consistent attendance.

Gi BJJ involves wearing the traditional uniform, which is used to grab and control an opponent. No-Gi BJJ is practiced in shorts and a rash guard, making grips unavailable and emphasizing different control positions and faster, slipperier transitions. Both are excellent training methods and complement each other for a well-rounded grappling skill set.
