Your First Class

Yes. We offer one free trial class. Register for your free trial and confirm your class and time with our team before visiting.

​

What should I wear and bring?

Bring water and comfortable athletic clothing without zippers or sharp hardware. Remove jewelry and ask about requirements for your chosen class before buying a Gi or other gear. Loaner gis are available. Arrive a few minutes early to meet the coach.

Do I need to be fit or have a competition goal?

You do not need prior training to start. Tell your coach about your experience and ask for help choosing an appropriate pace. Competition is optional; students may train recreationally or discuss competition preparation with a coach.

​

How do beginners practice?

Coaches introduce techniques through instruction and supervised practice. Students learn control, tapping and respectful training etiquette. Ask questions and tell your coach if you need help with an exercise or technique.
