Contact UsYep! We offer a week free to make sure we’re the right fit. If you'd like to keep training with us after that week, we ask that you join as a member.
We do not currently offer beginner-specific classes, and instead focus on all-levels classes, in which complete beginners are welcome and usually paired with an upper belt. While we understand that stepping on the mat with experienced practitioners can feel intimidating to beginners, our philosophy is that it's simply safer and a better learning experience for beginners to practice with someone who already knows jiu-jitsu.
Out-of-town visitors are welcome to train for no cost with a prior appointment. The ability to book a particular class will close several hours before the class begins. We generally don’t do same-day drop-ins, so please book early. Space is limited—if the class is not available to book, please choose another class.
In order to save time, before arriving at the gym, please:
Unfortunately, we cannot provide loaner gear, so please bring your own gear to come train (whatever color gi you like is fine).
Classes typically consist of 10-15 minutes of warm-up (usually movement drills with a partner), followed by about 30-45 minutes of technique instruction and drilling, and then an hour of specific, positional, and/or free sparring.
We’re glad you want to get on the mats! Your first visit is by appointment only. The ability to book a particular class will close several hours before the class begins. We generally don’t do same-day drop-ins, so please book early. Space is limited—if the class is not available to book, please choose another class.
In order to save time, before arriving at the gym, please:
Aim to arrive 5-10 minutes before the start of class. Come with a clean body and trimmed fingernails and toenails (we allow GEL or SHELLAC nail polish ONLY to avoid permanently marking the mats). You’ll need to remove all jewelry, so make sure you have a place to keep it safe. We recommend wearing a dry-fit athletic shirt and require shorts or pants without zippers, pockets, or buttons (e.g., Rugby shorts or yoga pants). During your free trial, you do not need a gi to participate in the gi classes.
Not at this time. All participants must be at least 18 years old to get on the mats.
No! We have adults of all ages and walks of life on the mats. Doing jiu-jitsu itself is a great way to get in shape. Just come train.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
Please make sure you have signed our participation waiver and let us know ahead of time if you are not able to make your scheduled time.
