WHat Everyone is saying
What Happens at Your First Visit?
Your first visit is a chance to meet the coach, see the academy and become familiar with class. Let the coach know you are new and mention any previous training. You will receive guidance on basic movements and working with a partner. Ask the coach to explain unfamiliar activities. Communicating with your partner and following training rules are part of getting started.
What Should I Bring?
Bring water and comfortable athletic clothing without zippers, buttons or sharp hardware. Remove jewelry before training. Contact us before your visit about Gi requirements and gear options so you do not buy equipment you do not need. Try one class for free at our Fayetteville academy, then ask us about current class times and membership options.
How Do I Keep Improving?
Start with a routine you can attend consistently. In adult BJJ, revisit positions, control and escapes in Gi and No-Gi training. In adult Judo, develop falling, movement, grips and balance before building on throws and groundwork. Our fundamentals instruction gives you time to practice and ask questions. Ask your coach what to work on next; you do not need to learn everything in one class. Progress is based on demonstrated skills and understanding.
