What stops most people

The honest answers

I'm out of shape.

That's where almost everyone starts. Class builds your conditioning. Waiting until you're fit means waiting forever.

Am I too old?

No. Adults start jiu jitsu in their 30s, 40s and 50s. You train at your own pace and tap whenever you need to.

Will I get hurt?

You control the pace. You tap when you're caught, your partner lets go, and you start again. Egos stay at the door.

I don't know anyone.

You will by the end of your first week. Training partners become friends fast when you're solving the same problems together.

Gi or No-Gi?

Both are on the schedule. Gi teaches grips and patience; No-Gi is faster and closer to self-defense in street clothes. Most members do both.

I am thankful to be a part of this team.”
