Three beginner programs

Each program runs as a structured 6-week course for first-time students. Pick the one that fits your goals — you can always add the others later.

Beginner Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Grappling, leverage and control — no striking.

No experience or gi required to start
Beginner-only class — no live sparring on day one
Great for self-defense, conditioning and problem solving
