Is Jiu-Jitsu Dangerous?

In my experience, through BJJ, I have met some of the nicest people ever. I can't speak for all academies but we provide a fun, safe environment to train and take every effort to insure our students can enjoy learning this art injury free.

What do I need for my first class?

Initially, nothing other than an open mind and maybe, tracksuit bottoms and a T Shirt. If you fall in love with the art and wish to progress more you will need to purchase a Kimono or 'GI' as they are more commonly known. It is the standard uniform that most of us start from when undertaking a journey to learn Jiu Jitsu.

The beauty of training No GI Jiu Jitsu is you won't need a Kimono and can train in just basic shorts and a T Shirt. We use our bodies as our training tools. We simply recommend that you refrain from wearing watches, earrings, rings, bracelets as it is a full contact sport.

I'm not as young as I used to be, is it too late for me to start?

I know its a cliche to say "You're never too old!" but you really never are! Jiu jitsu is truly a martial art for everyone and there is a thriving community of senior practitioners. We tailor our teaching to the individual and it's a sport you can take at your own pace.

Do I need any experience?

No former experience is necessary and all levels of fitness can enjoy learning BJJ. In our case, we train as a team and all levels are welcome to train with us. We encourage all our students to help develop other students, that way we get better as a whole.

Is it safe for my child to train BJJ?

Absolutely, we have a thriving Juniors program that is well supervised and safe for children from 5+ to train. Our kids program focuses on the core values of discipline, respect and hardwork that prepares kids for adult life, helping them to overcome modern problems.
