FAQ
Adult BJJ questions.
Can I start BJJ as a complete beginner?
Yes. We train adults from beginners to competitors, and every new student starts with a free private intro session with one of our coaches.
What's the difference between gi and no-gi?
Same one-hour format: warm-up, curriculum work, positional and open sparring. Gi classes are trained in the traditional gi (kimono); no-gi classes don't require one.
Do I have to compete?
No. Competing is optional. For anyone who wants more competitive-style training, our comp classes are open to everyone.
How much do adult BJJ classes cost?
Adult memberships are $180 a month for men and $150 a month for women. Family members save 5–15%, and teachers, students, first responders and military save 10%.
