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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
