Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that emphasizes ground fighting and submission holds to control and defeat an opponent. You'll learn to control and submit opponents in a friendly and challenging environment.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Kids

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Kids teaches children self-defense, discipline, and physical fitness through ground-fighting techniques and submission holds. Kids will build their confidence and develop a solid foundation in BJJ, regardless of their skill level.

Boxing

Boxing is a combat sport where two participants wearing protective gloves throw punches at each other in a ring, aiming to score points or achieve a knockout. Through bag work, sparring, and drills, you'll get a full-body workout while learning self-defense.

I just want to train MMA, how do I get started with that?

We highly recommend that you train at least 3-4 months in each of the various disciplines (boxing, bjj, and kickboxing) before transitioning to the MMA program, as this is not an entry level class. 

When can I start?

Whenever you are ready! We are always looking to add more people to the Next Edge team! 

What are the belt rankings in BJJ?

Kids Belts: 

White, Grey, Yellow, Orange, Green

Adult Belts: 

White, Blue, Purple, Brown, and Black

How long does it take to get your black belt?

Typically about ten years. Black belts are only offered to students that are at least 18 years of age, even if they have been training for 10+ years. 

Are the classes great exercise?

Boxing classes are great cardio workouts! Pad rounds are as intense as you and your partner make them. 

BJJ classes are very low intensity during the instructional portion, however once live rolls/positional rolls have started, it can be very intense. 

Where is the best place to purchase a Gi?

You can purchase a GI through Sanabul or Amazon. The Sanabul brand is a high quality, low cost gi that most of our members have used at least once. You can also purchase your gi directly through us, these Gi's would have the Next Edge logo on them. 

How often should I train as a beginner?

We recommend starting with 2x/week for the first couple months, then you can always add in more as your body adjusts to the new movements. 

Do I need any protective equipment?

We always recommend that you have a mouth guard. If you plan on competing in any disciple, you will need to purchase a cup, groin protectors (boxing), head gear (kickboxing/boxing) and/or shin guards (kickboxing). 

To get started though, the only thing you'd need would be a mouth guard. 

Will training in martial arts teach my kid to be violent?

We focus on teaching kids sports jiu jitsu, to use in competitive settings. Although its focused on the sport side of things, BJJ is still a great self defense skill and we constantly remind our young students that they are not to use any martial arts outside of the gym, unless having to defend themselves. 

Do me or my kids run the risk of injury by participating in class?

As with any sport or exercise routine, there is always a small chance of injury. However, our instructors and advanced students do their best to ensure that students stay safe, especially in our youth classes. 

Is the gym beneficial for women?

Yes! Martial arts is a great form of self defense and exercise. Our female membership has nearly tripled in the last few years, have have several high ranking female members that assist with teaching and compete as well. 

I'm nervous about taking my first class, what else can I do?

Be nervous to start is completely normal. However all of our classes are beginner friendly, taught by high level instructors, and are full of members who love helping each other. If you are still unsure, you can start by taking one of our Beginner programs, that focus on the fundamentals and are taught in a much smaller group setting. 

What is a Gi, and why do I have to wear one?

The Gi is a traditional uniform that is worn in various martial arts. A thicker material makes up the jacket and pants and allows for users to utilize gi specific chokes, submissions, and grips. It is not required at our gym, however we do have GI specific classes and highly recommend that you train in the gi if possible. 

Do you offer a discount for families?

Yes! 

After the first membership, our discount system looks like the following: 

off the second membership, 

off the third membership, 

off the fourth membership, 

off the fifth membership.
